Drop Box is not saving InDesign files!
My InDesign files download as a weird text file. ALL OF THEM. Has Drop Box lost all my InDesign files?? I tried going to earlier versions but they don't exisit. Here's what I get instead of my files:...

Luckily, the solution to my problem was very easy. When Drop Box downloads the InDesign file it adds a .TXT to the file name. Don't know why. All I had to do was delete the ".txt" on the file name and it became a perfect InDesign file. Thank you to the pepole who replied!!

Hey there CathyAK - thanks for pointing this out!
I have asked an expert of our team and will get back to you on this matter once I have an update.
In the meantime, thank you for your patience and have a lovely day ahead!

Hey all,
Just to follow up on this thread, our engineering team pushed a fix for this late last week - InDesign files should now be downloading normally, without appending a .txt to the end of the file name. If anyone is still experiencing this, please let me know!
Thanks!
