Opening a Dropbox file and it goes to google slides where do i change that setting.
help I want to see the dropbox in dropbox a ppt from a teacher and i clicked always open in google docs bc it has dropbox and google docs as an option now i cant open the ppt in dropbox its a Microso...
Yeah but what is so hard to understand I said there's a link I'm clicking its a dropbox link, its a presentation that opens in dropbox, but this one time it asked to open in google slides always and i clicked that. So now it only opens these dropbox linked presentations in google slides which is what i don't want and it look impossible to find the setting to get it back to just opening in dropbox not google slides. whe its openened the top link says dropbox.com but its in google slides as a .pptx does that help you enough to understand it. Where can i find the setting to change this so it will stop opening these dropbox presentation files in google slides.
I'm also an an apple device

Hi Dodecahedrane, is this a shared link to a file, or is the file in a shared folder?
Have you tried downloading the file to your computer in order to view it on your machine on your own copy of PowerPoint, if you have one?

Hi Dodecahendrane,
Could you try the following to see if this solves the problem?
1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps You can also get here by Account -> Settings -> Apps
2. Scroll down to "Default editing apps"
3. For PowerPoint Presentation, select PowerPoint for the web
4. Go back to the page where the file is & refresh
5. Open the file
Thanks!
