Hi,

&nbsp;Just noticed that when we have a file copy action to an network drive, the file copy action does not actually copy the files if the files already exist at the target.&nbsp;

The action does not fail, or report any issues, but logs the files copied successfully.

Thanks Olli,   
 I’ve added an option to overwrite existing files and we now correctly log when an existing file isn’t overwritten. The changes will be in the next beta build.   
  
 Cheers,
