Can I replace a file but keep the same link? The link has already been shared with clients but I need to replace the version of the file.

If you replace the file with one named identically and in the same place, subsequent visitors will get the updated version.

I'm having the same issue where a new link is generated for the same file in the same location. I'm replacing the file locally on my Mac and it's being sync'd by the Dropbox app. I had been doing this for the past 18 months and the behavior changed sometime over the past week or two.
Now this may be a Mac only issue. I have a friend on the PC who says that the behavior has not changed for him.
