    GetStorageNodeExtended / Overwrite Failure

    First, the new GetStorageNodeExtended method...brilliant. From what I see, it makes HTTP upload calls exactly what they should be and prevents people from mucking up my carefully planned filesystem structures. Nice!

    What happens if an upload is made with the fileOverwrite flag set to true fails, either in mid-upload or on your end somehow? Is it possible that the old version can be lost in the process, if the new version fails to commit?

    Thanks,

    Adam

    Thanks for your early help suggesting this you helped make this a priority.

    The file will not be overwritten until the entire upload has been commited.  We do not destructively remove your original file until the new file has been created and is complete.
