#Path File Module

The Path File module allows content editors to upload files and specify the url at which they will be available. Normally, when uploading a file to Drupal with the same name as an existing file, it is given a new name instead of overwriting the existing file. This can problematic when file urls are referenced in content, menus, etc but may need to be updated in the future. The Path File module allows you to mitigate the impact of those changes by setting up a canonical url alias which will always point to the most up-to-date file.

##Requirements
