Overwrite status
If the “Overwrite” field’s checkbox status is:
True: If there is no file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, a name change is made. If there is a file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the name is changed by overwriting the old file/folder.
False: If there is no file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, a name change is made. If there is a file/folder with the same name in the relevant directory, the name is not changed. The function gets an error with the message There is folder already in the directory.
Note
