That's only selective of duplicates, it will be merged.

Say my document looks like the following:

My Document
text.txt
-My Folder
text.txt
txt2.txt

My Document 2
text.txt
-My Folder
text.txt
another.txt

If you copy My Document 2 into the same location as My Document, it will look like this

My Document
text.txt (The my document 2 version)
-My Folder
text.txt (The my document 2 version)
txt2.txt
another.txt

If that's the solution you want to do, then it's the simpliest. Using a software to help you do those sorts of thing is a waste of time. Otherwise, the software mentioned above would help you decide which similarily named file in the same place would be replaced.
