Editor Android apps are NOT saving a Dropbox opened edited file
Why can I Not save any of my Dropbox files edited with Android third-party apps like Jota+ Text Editor or QuickEdit or any other . I can open with these editors apps but really not save .
When I press save it shows a successfuly msg but it doesn't work .
Why ?
- Hi Maur, could you clarify the exact steps you used previously when editing the text file via the Dropbox mobile app?
Which text editor are you using to edit files?

Lusil , thanks so much for your assistance .
You are right ,
I am trying to save directly on to my Android Dropbox mobile app as well I did some months ago ,
but now it does NOT work anymore .
BTW , usually that file was previously saved into Dropbox from my Windows Dropbox Desktop app .
First I was thought it was a defect of Android third-party Text Editor softwares ,
I waste months trying to debug them in this way .
Recently I figure out
(a) every Text Editor software with the same error in Drobox but they work at Box ,
(b) by opening and editing the file via Dropbox Text Editor it works .
So please , yes ,
I want to edit the file directly to my Android Dropbox mobile app as I did before ,
for instance ,
I am walking in a market and need to change something in a list into a text file .
I will appreciate so much if you can find out something else .
