Overwritten file lost link with Google Classroom #670

I'm a teacher and I'm using Google Classroom and its related Google Drive folders. I would like to overwrite pdf files and images posted by students with mine. If I use online tools all is ok, but if I download files, use local programs to edit them and then overwrite original ones in the folder mounted with ocamlfuse, the link in Classroom is lost and in browser you can still view the original file, even if in drive folder there is the new file. It appears that Classroom continues to link old file in trashbin.

Is it possible to set ocamlfuse to force a really overwriting of old file?

To keep the history/metadata of the target file when moving/renaming you can set mv_keep_target=true in the config file.

@astrada this solution doesn't work. the issue exists. The target file became trushed after editing and overwriting
