View org-mode / Orgzly files as text

Requesting a feature update that would allow org-mode /Orgzly files with the extension ".org" to be viewed as text files in Dropbox.

Orgzly for Android allows for creation and editing of org-mode files in Android, and syncing with Dropbox. Being able to view the files would useful, without having to open them in a text editor (e.g. Emacs).

This idea has been delivered! Orgzly files now preview as text in the Dropbox Mobile app on Android.

Please let us view and edit .org files as text. This should be an easy fix.

Is there any update on this?

Also, I would like to remind you of this great article about org-mode. “Org Mode Syntax Is One of the Most Reasonable Markup Languages to Use for Text” by Karl Voit.

Hi!

Files with the extension .org are simply plain text files used for Emacs and org-mode. Visualizing those files is the same as txt or md files. However, this feature doesn't exist yet in Dropbox.

If we could preview org files inside Dropbox, it will improve the workflows of many people, especially the Emacs/org-mode enthusiasts that rely on Dropbox.

Thanks for your reply and I hope to see this feature live soon.

Disappointed this isn't default, but it shouldn't be too hard to implement. 

Please consider this feature, thanks.

Been tracking this one for a while & was pleasantly surprised when Dropbox opened my an org-file in text mode today. *Thanks y'all* 🙏
