Viewing spreadsheets on iOS. Can't zoom out.
With the recent update, I can’t zoom out making it difficult to view excel spreadsheets on iOS. Is there something I can do to zoom out and view easier?
- 2 years agoIf you don't mind signing up for the TestFlight build, please give 334.1 (or later) a try. This version does not artificially zoom the spreadsheet previews at all. You can find instructions on installing the beta here: https://help.dropbox.com/account-settings/beta-program
This version is otherwise scheduled to be released with this change next week if you cannot try out the beta.

I have the same issue.
I use the Dropbox app for quick preview of Excel documents.
This is no longer possible, due to the fixed viewport size and fixed zoom level.
What is the reasoning behind this change? Dropbox does not permit editing of Excel documents, only previews, and by not permitting previewing of the entire document, you might as well just drop the entire feature.
I'd revert to version 330 if it were possible.
