    screenshot-1 shows that both "small size.txt" files were uploaded

    This is a tricky one...

    One could argue that this is not a bug, since you could upload two files with the same name from different directories that are, in fact, not the same file. There are many scenarios where this might be true.

    The question is... in what situations can the back-end support this behavior and what feedback should be given to the user.
