Dropbox StaffYou can upload new versions of files using the upload functionality, such as the upload method. You can find an example here.
Okay !! I'm aware of this upload functionality.. So we don't have any update api's or sdk methods for files right ? all we can do is upload another versions of files. Is my understanding correct ?

I'm not sure I follow. Can you clarify what functionality specifically you're looking to implement? You can use the upload methods to overwrite existing files with new data, for instance.
- I don't think so this is possible . It gives conflict error when I tried

Hope this helps.
