Hey Gold1, welcome to our Community!

I'm afraid there's no Dropbox way to set new files to overwrite old ones. 

Perhaps you can use a third party app/service for this, but that would be out of our control or support spectrum.

You can, however, post about this on our idea board. And here, you'll find some info on how to get more space. 

Let me know if you have any questions!
