Dropbox App text in monospace font on iOS

Dropbox App text in monospace font on iOS

The Dropbox App file display / editor is a welcome tool on mobile devices. However, it displays text files (.txt) in a proportional font. If you are only going to show one font it should be monospaced for text files.

Please change the text editor to use a fixed width font like text editors usually do, or add an option to show text files with a fixed width font.

Viewing plaintext files inside the iOS app lacks monospacing. A .txt should be formatted with a monospace font, period, my dudes. Tbh, it's somewhat baffling it isn't monospace. I've finally been annoyed enough to actually post something, so please, for the love of common sense, make it monospace.

what would it take for this idea to be adapted after years of requesting it?

Is there a way to use  mono-spaced font for viewing .txt files on Dropbox mobile?

Every time I try to look at a table Ive created or any text Ive formatted using blank

spaces(every hour of my waking life), I'm majorly bummed its not in mono-space,

and I cant seem to find a way around it.

Another vote from a musician and paying customer who’s baffled that a monospace font is not the default for text files. Just fix it!

Please add option to toggle the font between monospaced and proportional.

 

Or just stick to monospaced. This one shouldn’t be taking so long to implement.

Support seems to be saying this hasn’t gotten enough votes. Anyone have ideas on how to get it more votes?
