how do I set my Swift Dropbox API .upload to overwrite
How do I make .upload overwrite the file if it's already in dropbox?
When my swift tries to upload an updated file, I get "API route" error if file already in dropbox.
I tried this:
let request = client!.files.upload( path: dropbox_upload_pathname, input: fileData, WriteMode: overwrite )
..but got error "Cannot find 'overwrite' in scope."
I tried these but get build errors...
client!.files.upload( path: dropbox_upload_pathname, WriteMode: overwrite, input: fileData)
client!.files.upload( path: dropbox_upload_pathname, input: fileData, WriteMode: overwrite)

The upload method takes a 'mode' parameter, for which the value should be a Files.WriteMode, like this:
client.files.upload(path: dropbox_upload_pathname, mode: Files.WriteMode.overwrite, input: fileData) .response { response, error in if let response = response { print(response) } else if let error = error { print(error) } }For reference, you can use "overwrite", but "update" is recommended, as it's safer.
