Hi, it's been 3 weeks since this issue was first raised, and we still haven't heard anything back.
Is anyone following through? Can we get any updates or ideas of what to expect, i.e. is this a difficult problem that will take one year to solve? Or is it not a priority and won't ever be addressed?
Who is in charge of such issues, and who do I contact to request that it be addressed?
Has anyone else here found a good alternative to Dropbox, paid or not, that allows easy touch-and-go Android access to synced MD files? Thanks everyone else.

Dropbox StaffHi all and happy Monday!
I just wanted to give you an update on this as we've heard back from the team and it seems that this issue should be fixed with the most recent beta version of the mobile app.
For anyone interested, you can have a look here for more information.
I just switched to the beta version. Opening .md files does indeed work again!
Thanks for the update, and thank you dev team. The beta looks like it has fixed the issue. Hopefully the beta gets pushed to public soon for everyone.
Seems like the issue was fixed with todays update of the public app (version 324.2.2). Thanks to the dropbox team and happy editing :-).
It's looking like perhaps the issue is fixed today...? This afternoon direct tapping files automatically opens them in some sort of viewer but the option to open text AND HTML files in Dropbox Text Editor appears when tapping the three dots. I have yet to try editing/saving an HTML file in this manner so I may report back later if there's a problem but it looks good!
