Cannot expand text selection on mobile.
Hello, I am having an issue with the mobile browser for Dropbox on chrome.
I can select individual words by holding down but cannot drag to expand the selection of text. The necessary blue areas do not appear half the time and when they do they either send me to https://www.dropbox.com/?src=shmodel or act as if i have held down on the link above.
Attempting to drag as I select has the same behaviour.
This seems to get worse with anything other than left-right text formatting as holding causes the selection to alternate between the place you hold your finger and the top of somewhere off the page.
I don't think this belongs in tips and tricks but I selected it by mistake and don't appear to have the option to change it.

Hi Bugreport, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
What is the exact device and OS that you're running?
Could you try switching browsers to see if this helps? Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.
Let me know how it goes!
