Further comments
I believe it would also be helpful to 1) require checking a box to confirm "I understand the implications" and 2) show the warning in the folder list as well.
Related issue would be detecting overlaps that are caused by symlinks.
As far as I can tell, overlap detection is currently happening on the frontend.
