Sharing link doesn't link to the recently updated version of the file

Hi Lak1,
Are you really trying access updated version of the same file or new file using the same name?! The question is rhetoric of course. What I mean... If you update existing file in the most simple way (last depends on your actions, as on software you use - sometimes editing programs are guilty) then new version of the same file (here same file means same file id) is created. If you replace existing file with new one (emphasize on replace, not just update), then the new file version isn't related to the old file (again, here old file mean old id), but to new file! Some programs replace your files whenever save gets performed, without warning behind you, so you have to be careful what you use. Shared links get stick to the file ids, not file names! That's where your problem comes from, most probably. :wink: Try to change your work in a way, that files don't gonna removed in any one moment, or new links have to be created every time.
Hope this gives an idea.
ADD: A workaround could be share a containing folder instead file, if this works for you.
