Android: Kdbx files can only opened with Google Drive-PDF-Viewer which is wrong!
Why can I open Keepass *.kdbx files only with Google Drive-PDF-Viewer?? It is no PDF. Why does the dropbox app does not let me choose a different App to open the file with? Why not use the android de...
Exporting the file (from Dropbox) to open with Keepassdroid is not a satisfactory suggestion. The point is that if a new entry is made into the database, this then needs to replace the version stored on Dropbox.
This worked well, perfectly even, until you geniuses decided to fix it. And no, the file extension is known to the Android system, hence it opens it correctly when it is exported.
I'm driven off your platform, probably.
For those who have this problem, toggle "offline access" on kdbx file (maybe several times). In one state or another (whether offline mode is on or off, seemingly random) keepassdroid selector appears when you open the kdbx. Make shure to check "always", problem solved (after that kdbx always opens in keepassdroid, no matter if offline is on or off). Works for me on xiaomi mi9 with miui rom.
Holy Cow!
It Works!
It Works, It works, it works.
I had stopped testing replacement software, due to frustration. So this is supreme.
thank you!

- This sort of works for me. However, if you then kill the Keepassdroid app and the dropbox app, it goes back to a failing state until you toggle again.
I've also got this problem, and yeah, exact same experience with the 'Make available offline' suggested workaround. For me the problem is compounded by the fact I'm still running Android 5, and Dropbox recently dropped support for Android < 6. This means I am locked into the broken 190.2.2 version, thus being excluded from any possible future bug fixes for this problem. It definitely used to work fine when launching from Dropbox, so it's 100% the app that's faulty.
For me the simple workaround is not to open Dropbox in order to open my .kdbx file. Instead, open Keepassdroid and (with my settings) it'll remember the .kdbx's filepath to open. It always seems to open an up-to-date copy of the .kdbx file, despite not opening it from the Dropbox app.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This has resolved my issue of not being able to open Keepass from within Dropbox.
It has driven me crazy, Dropbox would only display the Drive PDF Viewer open to Open With, and wouldn't allow me to change it to anythinge else.
Works for me on a plain Moto G5S...
