Description

If you paste a file in a directory that already has one, the prompt will only let you override, not paste or cancel the whole task, would be nice if it let you save both with a number at the end "hi.txt"->"hi (2).txt".

Research direction

Start by tracing the Android paste flow to the prompt shown when the destination already contains the file. Implement a “save both” choice that creates a numbered filename such as “hi (2).txt”, while preserving override and cancel; verify the behavior manually in a directory containing a conflicting file.
