Same problem here. Dropbox on Android doesn't open .md files anymore but .txt files still work.
When clicking on a .md file, Dropbox opens a dialog suggesting several apps to open the file with, but the Dropbox Text Editor is not included in this list.
Some days ago - probably before the latest update - this was still working.
Things I tried so far without success:
- Reboot
- Clear cache
- Removed standard apps configuration in Dropbox settings.
Is this just a bug in the latest version?
