Dropbox on Android suddenly unable to open Text / .MD file
I ve a shared folder on my android 11 (kernel 4.4.177) in there ive a text file FILE.txt , which i renamed File.MD (markdown) so i can share with my usual note editor on MAC. it has been working perf...
Folks,
I have a Pixel 4A running Android13 and Dropbox 322.2.4. Up until yesterday, touching on a .txt file would open it in the editor directly. Today, however, the file opens in the viewer, and you must click the three dots at the upper right, then click "Open with..." near the bottom. This doesn't take you to a list of options of what to open the file with, but opens it directly in the editor.
What needs to be done to go back to the behavior of opening directly in the editor when the file is touched instead of the additional steps (viewer > dots > "Open with...")?
Thanks,
Scrappy
The file open in viewer. Click the three dots at upper right...... to get to this menu. Click "Open with..." near the bottom...... to finally get to the editor.

Hey Scrappy_Monkey, thanks for your report.
Could you try updating the version of the Dropbox mobile app and let us know if this persists?
I've updated to 324.2.2 via the Google Play Store and rebooted. Behavior is the same.

Hey Scrappy_Monkey, have you perhaps tried the beta version, like Walter suggested here?
