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?

I have to agree with Mark. Renaming or moving a file that has a share link is unreliable. While it's supposed to keep the same link, my experience has been inconsistent in that the link has changed many times when it shouldn't have. It's not a feature that I would rely on.

Does the above process also work on folders?
