Hi Jay,

 

Thanks for your reply. Once I have uploaded all the files, is there a way to bulk upload and replace the files with a new version? I'm trying to avoid having to manually update files one by one.

There are a few methods to upload files, however, only uploading directly to the site itself guarantees that the shared link remains intact.
