People see only the items they can already open. - **Renamed addresses** send readers to the new one, and old addresses are never handed to someone else. - **Custom domains** are re-checked every day. A domain whose DNS no longer points at Markdrop stops serving after three days of failed checks. - **Editors and workspace members** can replace a file from the viewer. - **AI apps** can list workspaces and folders, file documents, create folders and move items, and the CLI can upload straight into a folder.

On the hosted MCP server, seven workspace tools arrived at the same time: `list_workspaces`, `list_folders`, `list_workspace_items`, `add_to_workspace`, `remove_from_workspace`, `create_folder` and `move_to_folder`.

Revised the PDF? Replace the file and everyone with the link gets the new one. The link, its access, title and view count stay the same. - **Versions:** the last five versions of each file are kept, and you can restore any of them. A restore is itself a new version, so nothing is lost. - **Bigger files:** video and audio up to 2 GB each, sent in parts and checked by SHA-256 before they go live. Storage is 20 GB per account, earlier versions included. - **Audio files** (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG) get their own player, and videos show a poster frame before they play. - **From anywhere:** replace a file on markdrop.in, with `markdrop replace`, or from an AI app. Try it: [Upload a file](https://markdrop.in/upload) Docs updated: [Replace a file and restore versions](https://docs.markdrop.in/files/replace-and-versions.md), [Upload large files](https://docs.markdrop.in/files/large-uploads.md), [File size and storage limits](https://docs.markdrop.in/files/limits.md), [Video and audio](https://docs.markdrop.in/files/video-and-audio.md), [Upload and replace files from the terminal](https://docs.markdrop.in/cli/upload-and-replace.md) Permalink: https://docs.markdrop.in/changelog/replace-files-keep-the-link ## CLI 0.4.0: upload, replace and versions _Oct 27, 2026 · New · CLI · CLI, MCP server · CLI 0.4.0 or later_ Publish files from the terminal and swap them behind the same link, with resumable uploads and JSON output for scripts. New commands: `upload`, `replace`, `versions`, `restore`, `info`, `login` and `logout`. - Uploads are hashed, sent four parts at a time, verified by Markdrop, and resume when you run the same command again. - `--json` prints one JSON object and nothing else, for scripts and CI. - `markdrop login` saves an API token so you don't need `MARKDROP_TOKEN` in every shell. - `markdrop mcp` gains `upload_file`, `replace_file`, `list_file_versions`, `restore_file_version` and `get_file_info`, so an AI app on your computer can publish files from disk.
