Re: Dropbox on Android suddenly unable to open Text / .MD file
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?

Hi pmurkowsky , can I send you an email too, in order for us to have a closer look into this?
- I have this exact same problem. I can no longer edit .MD files from Android using Dropbox's built-in text editor. I also have Garmin apps suggested instead, among other things, with no option to select Dropbox. TXT files still work fine.
Had anyone been able to solve this? It was working fine a few days ago. @Megan: Sure, go ahead :-).
