I wish to send uploaded folder links to potential folder members manually, via my own constructed email, is this possible. Also will I still have to add folder members using "AddFolderMemberAsync...

Dropbox Community ModeratorYes, you can control what happens when uploading to a path where a file already exists by specifying a particular WriteMode, e.g., to the `mode` parameter for UploadAsync. Please refer to those documentation pages for more information (and be sure to review the `autorename` parameter as well).
Yep, I have that set to WriteMode.Overwrite.Instance, what about larger files?
I am using :
Private Async Function ChunkUploadAndCreateEmail(path As [String], stream As FileStream, chunkSize As Integer, dbx As DropboxClient, filepath As String) As Task
Dim numChunks As Integer = CInt(Math.Ceiling(CDbl(stream.Length) / chunkSize))
Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(chunkSize - 1) {}
Dim sessionId As String = Nothing
For idx = 0 To numChunks - 1
Dim byteRead = stream.Read(buffer, 0, chunkSize)
Using memStream = New MemoryStream(buffer, 0, byteRead)
If idx = 0 Then
Dim result = Await dbx.Files.UploadSessionStartAsync(False, memStream)
sessionId = result.SessionId
Else
Dim cursor = New UploadSessionCursor(sessionId, CULng(CUInt(chunkSize) * CUInt(idx)))
If idx = numChunks - 1 Then
Dim fileMetadata As FileMetadata = Await dbx.Files.UploadSessionFinishAsync(cursor, New CommitInfo(path), memStream)
Else
Await dbx.Files.UploadSessionAppendV2Async(cursor, False, memStream)
End If
End If
End Using
Next
End Function

When using upload sessions to upload larger files, you can likewise specify the WriteMode in the CommitInfo you pass to UploadSessionFinishAsync using CommitInfo.Mode.
