Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have installed the latest version of Storage Explorer.
- I have checked existing resources, including the troubleshooting guide and the release notes.
- I have searched for similar issues.
Problem
I have log folders for dates, but the file name is the same, so if I download the file into the same folder it will override the previous with the same name
Desired Solution
I would like to specify not just the folder, but the file name when downloading individual blob item
Alternatives and Workarounds
Automatically add a counter to the file name so it wont overwrite
Additional Context
Today I have "Overwrite" or "Do not download" options only

Research direction
Start at the individual blob download action and trace how the destination folder and overwrite choice are collected. Define how a user should provide a file name and how that interacts with the existing overwrite behavior, then verify that downloading multiple same-named blobs preserves the selected names without unintended replacement.
