3 years agoHi nilesh1231,
I work on the Dropbox design team. We recently added the ability to add signatures to documents from upload and preview. Did you click the pencil icon expecting to edit the document?
As Megan said, it isn't possible to edit the TXT on the website, Dropbox.com, but you have two other options.
1) You can copy the text and put it into a different kind of document. On the home screen, click the big blue Create button for a menu that offers these options. The new document will automatically be saved on Dropbox.
2) You can open and edit all file types from your computer with the desktop app (provided you have the appropriate software). If you haven't downloaded it, you can do that here: https://www.dropbox.com/desktop. The desktop app puts a Dropbox folder in your computer's file directory. From there, you can view and access everything on Dropbox, open and edit files, and keep them synced to Dropbox. When you install it, it will give you the option to sync everything on your computer to Dropbox.
I hope that's helpful. Thank you for your feedback!
