Overwrite status

If the “Overwrite” checkbox status is:

True: If there is no file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the move is performed. If there is a file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the old file/folder is overwritten and moved.

False: If there is no file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the move is performed. If there is a file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the move will not be performed. The function gets an error with the message that there is file/folder already in the directory.
