Hi, I’m using NC 18.0.1 and Android App 3.11.0 RC1.

My problem is, that I have some files (WhatsApp Backup files like statusranking.db.crypt1/msgstore.db.crypt12/chatsettingsbackup.db.crypt1) which are changing every night but not be renamed.

In the last versions the newly created files on my phone overwrote the files on the server automatically. Now I have to choose which file I want to keep every day. If I select “New File” in the context menu in upload view of my mobile phone’s NC App nothing happens and I get the same message again and again.

Is it possible to set “Overwrite files everytime” in “Automatic Backup Settings” in Android app?

Best way to have such app enhancement/bug related discussions is to move such conversations to Github, e.g. File duplication error · Issue #5599 · nextcloud/android · GitHub

In case it was rather a general question if this is possible today

It is not, which is why I mentioned github.

Hope this helps a bit :slight_smile:
