My goal is to share a PDF report that is still being updated. To keep things simple, I overwrite the file with the same name in the same folder each time I make changes.
My Dropbox folder is synced locally on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS). After editing the report in my working directory, I copy (with Ctrl+C command) the updated PDF and paste (with Ctrl+V) it into the Dropbox-synced folder, choosing the "replace" option. However, each time I do this, the previously shared link stops working and shows that the file was deleted.
Interestingly, if I upload the updated file directly through the Dropbox web interface, the shared link continues to work (only the st part of the URL changes).
Why does replacing the file via the locally synced Dropbox folder break the shared link, and how can I prevent this?
