I am genuinely confused about how to update an existing file, since storage.updateFile() doesn't take in the file object, there seems no way to overwrite an existing file other than deleteFile and then createFile again. I am working on node.js btw, this is the official node.js sdk declaration updateFile(bucketId: string, fileId: string, name?: string, permissions?: string[]): Promise<Models.File>

TL;DR
Problem: The developer is struggling to update an existing file using storage.updateFile() in a node.js environment because it doesn't accept the inputFile as a parameter. They are considering deleting the file and creating a new one as a workaround. Solution: The developer can use the provided updateFile method by passing the bucketId, fileId, name (if needed), and permissions as parameters to update the existing file.
