Is there any way to update a File using API's or Java SDK Methods?
Is there any way to update a File(doc, pdf, txt) uploaded from my local machine into Dropbox web app using API's or Java SDK Methods?
From Dropbox web app , we can update the doc file by choosing open in word for the web option.
Can I perform the same action using Dropbox File API's or Dropbox Java SDK methods??
do we have something like Files/Update API or Files().update() sdk method??

You can upload new versions of files using the upload functionality, such as the upload method. You can find an example here.
Okay !! I'm aware of this upload functionality.. So we don't have any update api's or sdk methods for files right ? all we can do is upload another versions of files. Is my understanding correct ?

I'm not sure I follow. Can you clarify what functionality specifically you're looking to implement? You can use the upload methods to overwrite existing files with new data, for instance.
- Is there any update api to change the file content ? Did u find any answer ?
