Static URL

It would be extremely helpful if Dropbox URLs for shared files could be static, even when you overwrite the file. Having the URL change each time I save over an audio file makes Dropbox a poor option for using links within Radio Spider.

    Hi averydav​,

    Thanks for sharing this idea! Can you just confirm a few things with me?

    For normal Dropbox shared links, overwriting or updating a file should not create a new shared link. Shared links are generally stable for the file unless the link is deleted/disabled and recreated.

    Do you use the file’s actual shared link (via Share / Copy link),  and not the browser URL?

    If you're still seeing the link change on overwrite, let me know!
