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.
This sounds like a game-changer, Amy! With the amount of files we juggle these days, an AI-powered universal search tool like Dash could really simplify our workflow. I’m particularly excited about the Stacks feature—having smart collections to organize links sounds incredibly useful. I’m definitely signing up for the beta to see how it all works in practice. Thanks for sharing this innovation!
