 * Hey,
 * This was done to make sure not to confuse Media Library when you import a file
   with the same name from a 3rd-party service.
 * I will make this configurable in the next release, but meantime you could remove
   the following:
    1. Open plugins/external-media/plugins/GoogleDrive.php 2. Line
   140 – remove >> get_class($this) . ‘_’ . <<
 * Do the same thing for other plugins if needed.
 * Please make sure to resolve this ticket if you think I answered your question.
 * Thanks

 * I added a new General tab to the settings page. By default this option is enabled.
