Open .pages files in Dropbox on iPad

Hi there

I‘m moving away from Office 365 to Apple apps. When on my iPad, when I click on a Word file, I get the „open in“ button to open in Microsoft Word. When I click on a .pages file, I only get an „open“ button which, when clicked, opens the file in Dropbox with no editing options. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Roman

    Hey romanroth - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

    Instead of opening the file in question, have you tried exporting it to your Pages app by any chance?

    Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
