Text files creation

I’ve been creating text files (*.txt) on Dropbox for months. Today, 3/28/2023, it is limiting my Create a File options to creating MS Word, MS Excel, or MS Power Point files only. Why will it no longer allow me to create text files???

For all these months of Dropbox use I have been using an Apple iPad Mini 5th generation, and various Android cell phones, all successfully.

    Hi Userface, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you attach a screenshot showing the options you get when creating files via the mobile app?

     

    This will help me to assist further!
