Re: Dropbox on Android suddenly unable to open Text / .MD file

In the Android app, if I do "Open with..." for a .md file it used to give me the option of "Dropbox Text Editor" as an app to open the file. Just recently that doesn't show up as an option anymore. For .txt files it's still available. Is there a fix?

    Welcome aboard the forum, andrew222651!

     

    Did you notice this behavior after an update on your device? 

     

    What’s the app version that your Dropbox app’s running at the moment?

     

    Keep me posted for any updates.

      Hi,

      The Dropbox app version is 321.1.4. There was an Android security update on March 5, I'm not sure if that's when the problem started.

        Thanks for clarifying! 

         

        Now, it sounds like your Dropbox app is currently on the beta app version (321.1.4).

         

        Can you please follow these steps to opt out of early releases on your device, and then install the latest stable app version of Dropbox? 

         

        I’d like to see if you’ll notice any difference there.
