It would be super handy to edit txt files in the preview window that opens when you click a document in your dropbox in the browser. So I can quickly store some text without having the pain of downloading - editing-uploading Just an idea 🙂
The ability to natively edit a plain text file within the Dropbox iOS app is a top feature that I've been wanting to see from Dropbox for quite some time. It's not even that hard to implement if they keep the design simple.
This is so fundamental, it's astonishing Dropbox STILL hasn't implemented this basic feature. So I can save text through this comment, but can't even save text in a basic Dropbox file?
I would like to +1 this feature request. I would be happy with the simplest solution. The web in general needs some solution for real text editing, cross-platform, in cloud, native, secure and simple. Dropbox would benefit if could solve. Google Drive don't have it out of the box... Not even any out of the box complete solution. Surprisingly.
I used to be able to edit text files in the browser, but no longer. I'm piling on -- please provide this function! Without it, Dropbox is cumbersome and inefficient.
This would be a really handy feature that would greatly increase the experience of the product. As someone who always works on the go and goes in between many different offices and computers in my work I don't always have the option to install programs or download files, which makes editing of simple .txt files a hassle, while .doc or .docx files are easily avilable and easy to use.
The android app can do this easily, so it should be easy to implement in the web version as well! 🙂
