Auto-versioning

Automatic file versioning by filename — re-upload a file with the same name and it becomes v2, v3, v4 without manual renaming.

Auto-versioning detects when a newly uploaded file matches an existing filename and increments the version number automatically. Every version keeps its own timestamp, file size, uploader, and download link. This replaces the manual filename versioning pattern (logo_v1.psd, logo_v2.psd, logo_v3_FINAL.psd, logo_v3_FINAL_revised.psd) that breaks down within a week on any active project.
