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 have the same problem (PC) that a replaced file makes the old shared link invalid. This behaviour is new so Dropbox has changed something or it's a bug.
It needs only to copy a new version over the old version and the link becomes invalid.

So sharing of files and replace a version is not usable anymore.
