Allow files to open without preview in the mobile app, like they used to.
Drop Dropbox used to open files with default apps without the preview function. That functionality has since been removed. That functionality was very helpful to those of us using atypical files ...
Does the same thing on both phone and tablet. Flip 5 and Tab S9.
Gonna play with Google drive, once again.

I was just poking around on the Dropbox website for my account. Looks like there some changes coming.
When viewing a file, there is a banner at the top of the page indicating changes coming on 10/1 with a preview option for the new "view".
When on the "Home" page for your account there is a banner indicating that the "Home" page is going away 9/30 and to access file using the "All files" link.
Maybe there will be changes coming to the phone apps also.
- Thanks fellow community folks for jumping in.
Not to get involved in semantics, but it seems that we are not asking to do something with a "preview" feature, we are trying to have Dropbox unbreak the prior standard feature of opening the file type in an outside application. I.e. if "preview" means that Dropbox software is going to give us a peek into our password database, they shouldn't and can't anyway in my opinion. Previews for OTHER types of unencrypted documents? Fine, but not relevant to password databases.
That's my interpretation, anyhow.- Hopefully there will be some better surprises coming up with a new release, considering what they are doing to the website at the end of the month.
