hello @soumi_soumiya

before saving attachment, try path Exists activity.

if already file is there with same name, then add 1 to your new file name

@soumi_soumiya did the sender sends the two attachments at a time or after a while.

time may vary or at same time it depends on the sender

Use path exist if already exist then in reaname add “(1)” or use counter as a=1 and in renameing “(”+a+“)”

@soumi_soumiya i think while downloading if you give timestamp like now.TimeOfDay.ToString it might work becoz of slight variance in the sec.
