Txt files now open in preview mode instead of the Dropbox Text Editor directly
My files are created as plain .txt files. In the past they would open directly with the Dropbox Text Editor as I had selected the Dropbox Text Editor as the default in the phone app.
Now the files ...
I don't understand. I want to be able to edit text files on any device using Dropbox, but I can't find a way to do it. Please post detailed instructions for editing text files!
For my convenience, I create files in Windows using Notepad or use a word processor (for spell check abilities), then paste the text into Notepad. Yes, other ways will work but that is how I do it.
Then in Notepad, Save the .txt file to a Dropbox folder.
Then when opening a .txt file in Dropbox on any platform, select "Use Dropbox Editor" to open the file. If you previously used another editor and it became the default, then you must change the default "Open With" function within Dropbox.
