Specify overwrite option while uploading file using javascript sdk

I am using following code snippet for uploading a file to Dropbox

 

dbx.filesUpload({path:"/"+file.name, contents:content})
    .then(function(response) {      console.log(response);
    })
    .catch(function(error) {      console.error(error);
    });

 

This is working as intended but throwing a path conflict error second time onward because the file exists already. How can I set the overwrite option true in the filesUpload() ?
