UploadAsync will not overwrite

using Dropbox.NET. Calling UploadAsync with a commitInfo, and FileStream.

commitInfo = new CommitInfo(path, writeMode.AsOverwrite, false, null, false);

UploadAsync(commitInfo, aFileStream);

The first upload of the file works fine.  I then edit the file, by changing a line in it, and attempt another upload. It fails with:

Dropbox.Api.ApiException`1[Dropbox.Api.Files.UploadError]: path/conflict/file/

    I think the issue is with your writeMode.AsOverwrite. You can instead do this:

    commitInfo = new Dropbox.Api.Files.CommitInfo(path, Dropbox.Api.Files.WriteMode.Overwrite.Instance, false, null, false);
