Since a couple of days ago, I get exactly the same error message whenever I try to open a .md file in the Dropbox app on Android. Files with extension .txt are still opened in the Dropbox Text Editor, but it refuses to open .md. Super annoying and majorly reduces Dropbox's usefulness for me.

Guys, the Dropbox Text Editor has AGAIN disappeared as an option to edit text and HTML files. Please, please, PLEASE for the love of God bring it back, I literally use it every day. Version 352.2.2, just updated and messed itself up again today. 😫
