path argument in drive_upload() not working

tidyverse
1

I have a presentation saved in Google Drive as README and I want to overwrite that presentation with a local file using the path argument in the hopes that this will preserve the google drive ID for the presentation (and not break the link for my stakeholders). But when I enter the path argument I get an error message:

"Error: Requested parent path is invalid: neither a folder nor a Team Drive."

library(googledrive)

README <- drive_get('README')

drive_upload(
  media = here::here('README.pptx'),
  name = 'README',
  type = 'presentation',
  path = as_id(README), # target destination on drive
  overwrite = TRUE
  )

Omitting the path argument results in the file being overwritten and a new drive ID being assigned.
