Overwrite File via Upload

File Service
1

Is it possible to directly overwrite a file by uploading another file of the same name and extension to the same path? Or does the pre-existing file have to be manually deleted first?

2

In the current version you need to delete the file first and then re-upload. In the September release we’re adding the overwrite capability.
