How can I copy multiple files with the same name into one folder?

NSKoepli

Hello!

I'm collecting hundreds to thousands of images into a folder for a project. These images, while coming from various other folders, many have the same file name. Starting out Dropbpox would allow multiple images with the same file name and just assign it a number at the end. Now a window pops up alerting me of duplicate file names and asking me to select the file to keep or I can go and select both. It would save me a lot of time if I didn't have to do this with each copy/paste/drag/drop. I don't understand why I was able to do this with hundreds of images/files before and all of a sudden it won't allow me to do it. Any recommendations?

Yes, this is a Windows prompt for choosing what to do with multiple files.

 

It’s possible that there was a recent change or update to Windows that affected what happened earlier.
