A common use case for Google Drive users is to download a file from their Drive to modify it locally, and then to re-upload the new version. In the past, this would result in duplicate files (the original and the new one), and users would have trouble finding the latest version.

 

Now, when users upload files that have the same filename as an existing file, they’ll be deduplicated, and the old file will be in revision history.

 

To prevent the files from being deduplicated, click on “Keep as separate file” once it’s been uploaded.
