Overwrite option on email to Dropbox

It would be very useful for the email to Dropbox feature to have an option to overwrite the target file if it already exists. The previous versions would still be available through version history.

 

The use case is a nightly automated backup to Dropbox of a data file from another system.

 

Thanks
