how do I set my Swift Dropbox API .upload to overwrite

How do I make .upload overwrite the file if it's already in dropbox?

 

When my swift tries to upload an updated file, I get "API route" error if file already in dropbox.

I tried this:

let request = client!.files.upload( path: dropbox_upload_pathname, input: fileData, WriteMode: overwrite )

..but got error "Cannot find 'overwrite' in scope."

I tried these but get build errors...

client!.files.upload( path: dropbox_upload_pathname, WriteMode: overwrite, input: fileData)

client!.files.upload( path: dropbox_upload_pathname, input: fileData, WriteMode: overwrite)

The upload method takes a 'mode' parameter, for which the value should be a Files.WriteMode, like this:

client.files.upload(path: dropbox_upload_pathname, mode: Files.WriteMode.overwrite, input: fileData)
    .response { response, error in
        if let response = response {
            print(response)
        } else if let error = error {
            print(error)
        }
    }

 

For reference, you can use "overwrite", but "update" is recommended, as it's safer.
