Comment (by folletto):

 That seems to me a good way forward by keeping it very grounded for a
 ticket this old that is easily sidetracked. :)

 I would just suggest a slight change of language for the actions:

 * Red → "Overwrite with uploaded" on the right
 * Blue → "Cancel and go back" on the left

 I'm suggesting to flip order so the two actions are order-wise associated
 with the columns right above, which makes it easier to understand: left
 column and left actions are both "current", while right column and right
 action are both "uploaded".

 Also similarly added the same word inside the red button, so the label of
 the column matches the label on the button, and for the blue one it makes
 clear nothing happens ("cancel") and the outcome ("go back").

 Also agreed to allow downgrades too.
 It should show it in ANY override case (i.e. every time a folder with the
 same name exists).

 That's a good direction!
