If I is the web interface in Google Docs to copy MyFile.txt into a G Folder that already has MyFile.txt what happens in these scenarios?
- The file contents are the same
- The file contents are different and
the destination is older
USE CASE DETAILS
I have a bunch of files in Folder1 that I want to copy to Folder2 but there may be some duplicates, so I want to do it in the web interface b/c I think it'll update all the local copies faster than if I do it on a local copy, have the server update, and then have the 3 or so PCs update their local copies.

From a simple test, Gdrive just replaced both files.
So it would appear that Google Drive does not do any checking for duplicate filenames existing on the destination.
