Is it possible to edit contents of uploaded zipped file?

I have a series of large 1-2 GB zipped files already uploaded to my Dropbox. I need to update only one small file within each of the larger zipped files. Is it possible to delete and add a new file ...

Hey bas1116, thanks for posting your question today!

 

I'm afraid you won't be able to do this through our website, but are you using our desktop app?

 

If  you're using our desktop app and you have your files synced to your computer, you should be able to edit them, since they'll be locally available on the computer.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions.
