That's not a solution to my problem . I need to view outlook msg files which are saved in drop box

Dropbox can't have a viewer/editor for every possible file type, so they focus on the most popular file formats. Those include, but aren't limited to, Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), PDF, text, and various image and video formats.

If you need to open/view Outlook .msg file, you'll need to use a third-party application to do so. There are plenty of options that you can use on both a computer or mobile device, many of which can easily open a file from Dropbox.
