Shared link keeps changing when clicking and dragging a replacement file into Dropbox desktop
In the past, when you clicked and dragged an item from your computer into your dropbox, it would keep the original shareable link. Seems that now when you do this it creates a new link. How do I stop...
I use drop box to share the most recent version of a document.
A version of the document exists within dropbox.
I do any edits on the document on my personal computer. Once done, I select it and click/drag it over to drop in the dropbox. In the past, it would replace the document and keep the same shared hyperlink, but now it creates an entirely new one.
I'd update a bunch of files at the same time this way on a monthly basis usually.
I'm now using MS OneDrive instead. The issue doesn't exist with there system.
Having the same issue. Very important to be able to overwrite files without making a new one. The sharing links are sent out and posted to various places and this would be a huge headache if this option is no longer viable. Were you able to resolve this?
