    Please use Dropbox.Api.Files.WriteMode.Overwrite.Instance to set the overwrite mode (instead of AsOverwrite).

    Ok.  Strange, but ok.

     

    I tried the similar code and it does not compile with:     mode: WriteMode.Update.Instance
    And it throws the same exception with:     mode: new WriteMode().Update

     

    What do I use for Updating a file?

      For the update write mode, you need to supply the rev value that you are intending to update, so you would make that like: new WriteMode.Update(result.Rev)
