How to Update a File in Dropbox Without Changing Its Shared Link
-
Open the file on your computer and make the necessary updates (for example, revising the content or making a PDF ADA-508-compliant).
-
Save the updated file using the exact same name as the original file in Dropbox.
-
Go to Dropbox and navigate to the same folder where the original file is stored.
-
Upload your updated file to that folder. Dropbox with automatically overwrite the existing file with the new one.
Dropbox will replace the old version with your updated one but keep the file’s unique ID the same. This means your existing shared link will continue to work — it will now point to the new, updated file.
