How to upload new version of existing file?
Hi, I have three media files in a folder in Dropbox. The link were shared publicly. I found and error and would like to upload a new version, so the link remains the same. As I do not know who saved ...
Yes, simply replacing the file with an identically named one will update the file for you without altering the link :)

Dropbox StaffHey jandudzik, thanks for nudging us on this thread! I'd be more than happy to help.
As a first step, to make sure that we cover most initial ground, could you try replacing the file in question via the website?
Let me know the results. Thanks!
I had the same problem - on my mac I added a new version of a file using Finder, but the share link deleted. When I looked in version history on dropbox It actually says it first deleted the original file and created a new version.
Solution! Using the Dropbox web interface I dragged in a new file and the share link was preserved. When I look in version history I can see another version was added, without 'deleting' the previous version of the document with the same name.
Lucikly there's a workaround for this, I guess Dropbox needs to add this onto a list of future features because I only work with documents out of Finder, rarely out of the dropbox.com website.
