Recognition of extensionless text files on Dropbox for Android

Dropbox for Android recognizes plain text files when their extension is .txt. However, many users, especially among the software development community, use extensionless text files containing code. Right now, the only way for Dropbox to recognize and open them as text files is by changing their extension to .txt (tedious).

 

It would be very helpful for many users that, at least, the app allowed reading extensionless text files as any other text file.
