Viewing spreadsheets on iOS. Can't zoom out.
With the recent update, I can’t zoom out making it difficult to view excel spreadsheets on iOS. Is there something I can do to zoom out and view easier?
- If you don't mind signing up for the TestFlight build, please give 334.1 (or later) a try. This version does not artificially zoom the spreadsheet previews at all. You can find instructions on installing the beta here: https://help.dropbox.com/account-settings/beta-program
This version is otherwise scheduled to be released with this change next week if you cannot try out the beta.
Same issues here, this issue presents on IOS (apple devices) in the dropbox app as well as in the browser(s) on the phone. This just happened in the last day or so. We use dropbox in our business with alot of employees who need to view spreadsheet data for the work location etc. With the new view dropbox is completely worthless. We have been using dropbox for our business over 6 years.
In short. When users attempt to “open” a spreadsheet file to view it on the app or web on an apple device (unsure if this affects android) the spreadsheet is zoomed in very close and in a corner of the file. I cannot expand the zoom (zoom out) much at all and the zoom reverts back to zoomed in if you take your fingers off the screen. This issue is not when trying to edit the file using microsoft excel, it is only when viewing the document in dropbox. This does not seem to affect other file types at this time (pdfs, photos etc)
