Open With
I have had Dropbox for years, and when opening a file I have always had to select "open with". It there a setting that will allow Dropbox to automatically open a file with the appropriate software to stop that one extra step each time?

Hi there knoxtim, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
I'm afraid I'm not aware of such a setting within Dropbox at this time. Could you clarify which file-types you're having issues with and if you're using the desktop app, the mobile one or the website to do this?
Thanks!
Dropbox has removed the ability to open my files with my prefered programs. I need to choose "Open with" EVERY single time and they think this is a feature!
I have wrote them so many times and now they tell this is intented to be like this! Dropbox doing things worse and is proud of it!
