Wish I could use Dropbox on my Android 7 and also open my third-party app files via the website

Would be nice to have access to the previous version and install it and of course accept less latest functions.

It would have been nice with a warning before so I could have disabled automatic updates!

Alternatively it would be very convenient if - like in the app - after logging in to the Dropbox website via Chrome one can choose which app already installed on the unit to open the file with. Example: in a Dropbox folder I have some *.ost files used with the app OpenSongapp. This I can choose in the app but not via your website. Please enable, thanks

    Hey Elo Detsor, hope you’re doing great. 

     

    First of all, I’d like to thank you for all your feedback; I’ve made sure our team can see it, too. 

     

    Now, as for the second part of your post, are you referring to the Dropbox website on your mobile (Android) browser, or your computer instead? 

     

    Let me know.

    Thanks for quick response. I refer of course to the Dropbox website on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 mobile (Android 7) Chrome browser.

    Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with Android 7. Dropbox app has without a warning been discontinued for Android less than version 8

    Thus I open Dropbox website in Google chrome on the said device and see all my files as in the Android Dropbox app. However, I don't get a chance to Open with... as in the app where I can choose the installed app OpenSongapp to open eg *.ost files

     

    Kindly add this to your improvements - or perhaps even better allow me to install the previous version that worked very with Android 7, thank you
