Same Size Files When Copying

By default, the Copy File automation skips copying files if an identical-sized file already exists in the destination.

This is done to prevent wasteful data transfer and overages.

You can modify this default behavior in your automation by selecting the appropriate option under Overwrite the existing files with new ones in the destination selection screen while creating a new automation or modifying an existing automation.

We recommend keeping this option disabled to avoid accidental wasted data transfer usage.
