Does a shared link change if the file is edited?
I have a shared file in my dropbox, and created a tinyurl for it. Is there a way to replace and rename that file with an update and not break either the dropbox or tinyurl link?
Not true (I think).
I even did a test. Created a file named "something one". Got a link to it to share. Then I used tinyurl to get a personally named link for it "tinyurl.com/mytestone". I then renamed the file to "something two". Used the original and the tinyurl link to bring it up just fine, although the actual link still had the text "something" and "one" in the url. If I then ask for a link to share this renamed file, I get one with the "one" in the link replaced by "two". Now either the link with the "one" or the "two" will bring up that file in it's latest form.
Is there something I'm missing?

Super User IIDropbox did update it a while ago so that it SHOULD still work if you move/rename a file, but, personally speaking I dont find it all that reliable. It isnt something I would risk for my shares just in case.
