Setting: Profile / File system /Add 5 random characters to the name of the uploaded files for extra security. / Append
With the latest release, JCE Pro 2.9.99.10, as many as 16 characters are added instead of 5. Please fix the bug or make it optional how many random characters are added to the filename.
Thanks!
Please try JCE Pro 2.9.99.11 Beta - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/editor/pro/development/jce-pro-2-9-99-11-dev
There is now an option to select the length of the random string - 8, 16 or 32 characters.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.
Thanks for the new solution with more options, it works!
For me, it has worked fine so far with only 5 random characters added to the primary filename to avoid conflicts, so I will choose the option with the fewest number of random characters (8).
