Description

Originally reported by @marcoambrosini in https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/50746


Team, I would suggest some improvements for this popup, as for me it is not so immediate which checkbox to select.
Things I would do to start improving it are:

  1. To emphasize more the question "Which files do you want to keep?" instead of the path which is not so relevant.
    2.Once the new file is selected, change the button label to "Overwrite" or "replace".

Looping @tobiasKaminsky since the mobile version is similar.

Additional points:

  • We could also put the "If you select ... be overwritten." text into an info callout component.
  • Title of the dialog could be "[n] file conflicts, which files do you want to keep?"
  • The path could be in a simple p element just above the callout

Research direction

Start by locating the conflict dialog implementation in this TypeScript upload library and compare its current labels, question emphasis, path placement, and callout treatment with the issue screenshot. Confirm the desired wording and scope with maintainers before changing the UI; done means the dialog clearly asks which files to keep and uses the requested replacement label.
