Improved experience for failed uploads

[enfascination]

Thank you for DropShare. My biggest frictions are after failed uploads.

1. They accumulate in the file list.
2. They each take a few clicks to delete.
3. I most commonly get them by trying to reupload the same file twice, which leads to my commonly having closing error popups and then either changing the filename to avoid collision, or clicking around to open the dropshare file upload history to search for the original URL.

This feature request is to either streamline the process for failing or give users more options around failure. In particular, my top request, for years, has been that when I try to upload the same file (not just same name but same hash) the app returns the existing URL for that file rather than passing down the error and making me go in and find it. Other apps like early cloudapp had this behavior.

Thank you.

Hi @enfascination,

thanks for your feature request. I'll happily look into it - could you please let me know which storage provider you're using? Uploading the same file twice should replace the original file, not show an error.

Thanks,
Timo

Ah, I didn't realize it was already a feature, but checking another provider I see. I use institutional access to Box.com by default, which is where I face this issue. I've just confirmed that I don't have the issue using the linkage to my auxiliary Google Drive account.
