Dropbox files on Samsung tablet won’t open
Hi All
i use Dropbox on my iPad to back up songs in an app called Songbook with chords and lyrics. The files are both txt and pro files and they both open fine in Dropbox on my iPad.
I recently downloaded Dropbox on my android Samsung tablet but the pro files won’t open, only the txt files.
Any suggestions as to why this is most welcome
Thanks
Chris

Hi there Chris I.5, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Do you have the appropriate software to preview those files installed on your Android tablet as well?
Have you tried downloading them from the website or exporting them to the 3rd party app you'll be using to work on them?
Let me know what you find!

Hi
thanks for reply. Not sure I fully understand all this. Both the pro files and txt files open in Dropbox on my laptop without any problems. Is this an issue with my android tablet?
thanks
Chris
