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 .

Why ?

@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 .

@Jay , hello !
.
It re-started to work fine just today .
.
Yesterday I did several reproduces of the error to describe here ,
just now I retry the malfunction to describe the exact error msg but
the behavior had changed , now I received a error about ENCODE ,
something about ENCODE I changed in the "editor setup"
and NOW it is working FINE in Jota+.
During this last night ocurred a Dropbox upgrade to 119.4.1772 ,
and my Android also did several SWs updates , but I did NOT see any
for Dropbox .
.
So now I figured out something wrong with ENCODE ,
I may handle my files and Editors SWs about the ENCODE setup .
So we may close this ticket .
Thanks so much for your skilled assistance !
