Android app defaults apps to preview files
I've noticed that the Android App (Android 12) appears to ignore the default app configured in it and always opens text files and images in Dropbox and not my preferred app, I've tried removing/reset...
Quick update. I bought a brand new phone which is running Android 13 and the issue still persists, Dropbox will always try to use its internal viewers even when another app is specified (within the DropBox app) and if the file format is not supported by DropBox it will throw an error, eg: .kdb files which should be opened by KeePass which I have installed. Selecting Open With will allow you to open the file with an app of your choosing but this does question why DropBox has the option to specify an app and then ignores it.
kbd files are my major complaint as well.
Somehow I got it to work. I uninstalled keepass android
- uninstalled Dropbox (make sure to delete cache, all you settings)
- restarted
- set db to offline mode
- set kbd files to open keepass.
Seems like it works, but occasionally still doesn't sync. (we were using Dropsync but it quit working on the latest sammy beta s22)
