Typically you just need to have an app installed on the device that is capable of opening the files, as Dropox uses the apps that you have installed. Do you have an app on the phone that is capable of opening .eml mail files? if so, have you tried opening such a file separately from Dropbox? Are you able to?
The first step is to make sure you can open .eml files outside of Dropbox. If you can't, then you'll never be able to open them from within Dropbox.

Hi, can you please suggest a 3rd party app I can use to read .eml in Dropbox please? I read somewhere klammer but can’t find it available anymore. Hoping for some suggestions, thank you

Hi Krisias, while we can't provide any specific recommendations, you can try searching on the app store for 'eml viewer' to see if any apps appear which might be able to help you with your query.
- Krisias3 years agoExplorer | Level 4Thank you. I found one after I sent last message and it’s working, albeit “share/export to”
