View org-mode / Orgzly files as text

[mfurmanek]

Requesting a feature update that would allow org-mode /Orgzly files with the extension ".org" to be viewed as text files in Dropbox.

Orgzly for Android allows for creation and editing of org-mode files in Android, and syncing with Dropbox. Being able to view the files would useful, without having to open them in a text editor (e.g. Emacs).

Hi all; thanks for your contributions on this!

I just dropped by to let you know that this idea has been passed along to the team for review.

Thanks for your suggestion and to everyone who has supported this idea so far!

See you around the Community and keep the creative ideas flowing!

Please preview files ending in .org as a text file.

[diogoferrari]

Any advances on this?

[Maikol]

Waiting for this feature.

At least Dropbox should be previewing like a plain-text file.

[sigarch]

This is probably the most important feature missing from Dropbox Mobile for me right now.

Echoing earlier comments:

- plain-text only editing will be enough for most users of `.org` files

- text rendering is a nice bonus, but not necessary

[anonimito]

Seriously, is this absurd and/or difficult enough to do that it's been dragged on for years now?

[rodelrod]

If the code isn't a total mess, this should amount to adding `.org` to a list somewhere. It will the best bang for the least buck that Dropbox will ever get from a feature request

[ross_kvasirson]

Just piling on to say that I'd truly appreciate adding this feature, or any subset of the features others have already suggested within this comment thread. I use Dropbox to maintain my org files across *nix, MacOS, and Windows and this would be a game changer for me, especially on mobile. Thanks!

You can use organice to view, edit and search your Org files. It’s a FOSS application that works well on mobile and desktop browsers: https://github.com/200ok-ch/organice

I vehemently +1 this!

You can see how GitHub and Gitlab render Org mode files as examples.

+1 please implement. Level 1, basic support could be to just render as a text file. This would take almost nil effort. 

Level 2 support could be to render it nicer, like github, as others mentioned.
