View org-mode / Orgzly files as text

View org-mode / Orgzly files as text

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).

I can view .org files as plain text now on iOS! Does anyone know when this was added?

Does not work for me currently (Android v232.2.2), and desktop web client.

I would also love to see this support. I would need no special syntax highlighting, only the ability to view .org files as plain text.

Hi everyone, 

 

allowing files with the extension ".org" to be viewed as text files in Dropbox would be extremely useful. 

 

Thanks so much.

Please add support for rendering of org mode files in your web app as well as for editing of them.

Just to be able to see org files as plain text would be a huge help, and much appreciated.

 

Rendering would be nice too, but I'd really be happy just to see the text.
