Please provide the abilty to paste and override existing files using the hosted file explorer

Please provide permission to paste and override existing files within the hosted file explorer folders. At the least within the OPUS Vendor folder.
Concern: currently when you have custom files to load through OPUS you have to upload the files into the hosted environment. You do this through shared folders.
Below is an example of the steps taken to load the custom Vendor files.
Saving the file to a shared local folder. Accessing the shared hosted file explorer, navigate to the OPUS Vendor folder, delete the existing files, copy the new files from the local drive, then paste them into the Vendor folder. If you forget to delete, you end up with duplicate copies without any notification that the files already exist nor are you presented with the choice to override the existing files. If you do not catch it, you are left with duplicate copies with the original retaining the correct name and the newest being an instance of the original. This results in old data being loaded because the newest file is saved as a copy. Example: the original file is FIleName.txt the newest file would be FileName(1).txt
The fix today would be to go through and delete all instances and start the process over.
It would be extremely convenient to be prompted to select the desired behavior.
