Hi RichieRich1891, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Can you please send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting so that we can have a visual too?

 

Also, does this happen with all files of this file type or does it happen with others as well?

 

Any additional information is more than welcome!

      Hey RichieRich1891, sorry to jump in here.

       

      Does this happen with all your online-only .txt files or just specific ones?

       

      And if you try to make one of them available offline, move it out of the Dropbox folder and then back in, does that help?
