[TYPO3-dam] Usage field of DAM record shows files under /uploads directory

[Oliver Tempel]

Hi,
First of all i would disable file upload in content elements.
Next option is a logical file and order structure so no filename came twice.
But this is only a workaround, filepath check in combination with hash would be a better solution. Does it make sense that dam automaticly disable uploads in content elements or would be an option in config?
