Can I have dropbox overwrite same name documents?
There are some options around how to behave when uploading a file to a path where there is already a file, but this would be something the developer of the app would need to implement. You may want to reach out to the developer of that app requesting this.
I have the exact same problem here
I have the same IFTTT and facing same issue. Need to keep same filename without incrementing.
Hi There,
meanwhile I have found a workaround to overwrite the same name documents. With a free Wappwolf.com account you can do various changes to an uploaded file - amnog them it will replace adocument with the same name. Check it out.

Hey Michael, This is good. It works nicely for me too now wappwolf.com 🙂
Would still be good if Dropbox could provide the settings to users (at a folder level) to allow for files overwriting
