+            Creates a filepath that does not overwrite any existing files.
+
+            This function checks if a file already exists at the specified filepath. If the file exists and `overwrite` is False, 
+            it modifies the filepath to create a new file instead of overwriting the existing one. 
+            If `overwrite` is True or the file does not exist, it returns the filepath as it is.

+            ----------
