How to upload new version of existing file?
Hi, I have three media files in a folder in Dropbox. The link were shared publicly. I found and error and would like to upload a new version, so the link remains the same. As I do not know who saved ...
Yes, simply replacing the file with an identically named one will update the file for you without altering the link :)

Hi,
thank you for your reply, however, I do not yet understand how it works.
How do I do it? How does replacement take place? I do not see an upload button. If I drag and drop another file with the exact name into dropbox, I get two files?
What - step by step - do I have to do so that my new data can be found with the existing link?
Cheers

If you upload via the website it should just replace the existing file.
I use Dropbox on my computer and just file -> save as or drag and drop the file to replace it and all is good.
Hi, I did the same and expected the link to remain the same. However, the share url link changed even the same filename was used. I tried on two files. One worked but one didn't. Can you tell me how the link is generated? It does not look like purely based on the filename. Thanks.
