Hello!
1. Uploaded a document to dropbox (version 1).
2. Uploaded the document to dropbox with the same name but different content (version 2).
3. Pressed three dots and selected copy link.
4. Paste the link into Telegram and in the preview I saw the contents of the document version 1, while I expected to see a preview of version 2.- Megan2 years agoDropbox Staff
Hi ratushnyivm, thanks for clarifying!
When you click the link that's pasted into Telegram, do you get re-directed to your browser? If you paste the link there, do you get the same results?

Yes, when I click on the link, it takes me to the browser and opens the version of the document I want. The only problem is that a preview is automatically generated in telegram with an irrelevant version of the document.
