'How to allow google cloud storage to save duplicate files and not overwrite
I am using google cloud storage bucket to save file uploads from my Django web application. However if a file with same name is uploaded, then it overwrites the existing file and i do not want this to happen. I want to allow duplicate file saving at same location. Before moving to google cloud storage when i used my computer's hard disk to save files, Django used to smartly update filename in database as well as hard disk.
Solution 1:[1]
I upload files with the name given by users, and I concatenate a timestamp including seconds and milliseconds. but the name of the file is seen by clients as they added it, since I remove that part of the string when it is displayed in the view.
example
image1-16-03-2022-12-20-32-user-u123.pdf
image1-27-01-2022-8-22-32-usuario-anotheruser.pdf
both users would see the name image1
