Bug description
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
When I tried to download/Download a file using storage explorer from the “general purpose v2” storage account, if file already exists in the destination, then I’m getting below message. Based on the input (Yes/No) it performing the operation.

However, If I perform same operation on ADLS gen2 storage account, and If file exists in the file system or Local path, explorer is not showing above message, instead it showing below message with error icon.

No files, tests, or code entry points are named in the issue. Reproduce an upload and download collision with an ADLS Gen2 file system on Windows 10 using Storage Explorer 1.6.2, then compare it with a general purpose v2 account. Done means ADLS Gen2 shows a confirmation prompt or an informational existing-destination message instead of an error.
