Overwrite must be forbidden on public links with drop zone #2480

If two people upload the same file they will overwrite each other. The expected behaviour is to to make each upload unique. In CERNBox we prepend a random UUID.

I'd like to advocate against using UUIDs here as they appear very technical and regular users might feel uncomfortable. Instead I'd propose to append a number in parentheses "(2)". This is the behavior we have in the classic ownCloud. /cc @tbsbdr

I think appending the timestamp might be even better? That'll help the user differentiate between the various files

Agree, that could be valuable as well. Dropbox behaves like this, for example.

@pmaier1 make sense!

What is happening here? We are happy to adjust tests. There has been plenty of discussion in PR #2510 - we just need a decision on the naming format to move forward.
