Media: Handling Files that Already Exist

[zcolah]

Problem

User is uploading a file into the system again that already exists

Solution

Show a modal with the following:

• Title: Upload Options
• Content:
• Body 1 Text: Zosh.png already exists in this location. Do you want to replace the existing file with a new version or keep both files?
• Radio Buttons: Replace Existing File, Keep Both Files
• Buttons: Cancel, Upload

Questions:

• Can we create a back end point that allows us to check if a file with that file name exists in the instance? If yes, how complex is this?
• new endpoint to check if file already exists
• Will we get the notice for replacing on the image creation API or a separate validator API?
• This would be a separate validator API
• Can we create a back end point that allows us to replace this file with an updated version?
• This should preserve the created_at field
