Controlling which directory a file get uploaded to

[ggates1]

We are having an issue where the same file is being uploaded to different directories within a site.  I was wondering if there is a way to alert a
user when they upload a file that the file exists in another directory on that particular site. 

Thanks…

Not out-of-the-box. You might search the forums and blogs for "duplicate detection". There are different custom approaches for implementing duplicate detection.

I cannot find any custom approaches to doing "Document Detection" is there anyone who can point me in the right direction?  Thanks as always for your help!

Hello,

as Jeff mentioned, similar topics / blog posts exist. E.g. this forum post about hashing to detect duplicates and the linked blog post about generating checksums (which has apparently been moved since it was reference in the other thread).
