Dropbox: Files with the same name are overwriting existing files on Dropbox integrated folder.

    If you're using as subfolder name a field that may have submitted the same value more than once, then the files will be overwritten, example:

    For example, if someones called "John Smith" submits the form once a PDF with this value will be saved in a subfolder with the same name: 

    Dropbox: Files with the same name are overwriting existing files on Dropbox integrated folder.  Image 21

    But if there is someone else submitting the form using the same name the existing files will be overwritten instead of keeping a copy of the existing file. 

    My testing form: https://form.jotform.com/73025004448953 

    Would be possible to somehow avoid files to be overwritten?
