In short, It's not logically an technically possible!

You can upload multiple files with the same name with a different file extension!

Except that,

  • A new version will be added to the current file (versioning enabled).
  • The current file will be overwritten with the new file (No versioning enabled).

Workarounds

  • Using folders.

    • Can't save multiple files with the same name and extension in the same folder
    • But you can save files with the same name and extension in the same document library in different folders).
  • Enable versioning.
  • Using different file extensions.
  • Automate unique identifier name for each document.
