Can I keep the same shared link but change the file?

I am working on a video with someone. I want to be able to update the file while maintaining the same Dropbox link. Is that possible? Is it possible to change a file multiple times but the same link ...

    Yes. While exporting replace the existing file. That should be fine.

Hi, yes it is possible. If you update the same file, the link will remain the same.

    Thing is I am not dating the file as if it's a Word Doc. I'd be completely replacing it. It'd be a WAV file.

      Even in that case it should work. BTW, people who receive a shared link won't be able to edit the original file, it will be view only.

        So I can just export the same file to the same place with the same name and I'll have no problems?
