Description
I was moving files from a USB drive to an SD card. Because my phone battery was drained meanwhile. I had to cancel completing the copying, charge, and then continue.
However, now when I tried to copy the remainder, it created a new folder with the prefix "_ (1)_". Instead of merging the two folders.
Expected would be that I could somehow select whether to automatically rename duplicate folders (current behaviour), or combine them.

Research direction
Start by locating the Android file-copy flow responsible for duplicate-folder naming, then trace how an interrupted copy is resumed. Done means users can choose between automatically renaming duplicate folders and merging folder contents when copying into an existing folder.
