Hello,

Same question as in this post:
https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-33618398-copier-coller-de-fichier-de-meme-nom-sous-w10

Since there hasn't been a solution and it's one of the top results on Google, I'm reviving the topic to find a solution.

Windows 10 has regressed in that when merging folders, you only have the options to overwrite, compare, or ignore, unlike in Windows 7 where you could "automatically rename" files with the same name.

How can you automatically rename files when merging folders that contain files with the same name?

Thank you,

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 88.0

    I answer myself.
    You just need to select "Compare files" and choose the 2 versions!
    Thanks to another forum for providing this solution.
