View, download, and export

Hello! I was given the prompt to open Dropbox links in the android app or browser when trying to open a file.
I accidentally selected the wrong option (always open in browser) and now I can't figure out how to get the link to open links in the app instead.
How do I change this setting? Thank you.

Hi Jay!
Changing my defaults within the Dropbox settings of the Galaxy S8 android OS worked.
This is done by going to:
Settings -> Apps -> *three dots in top right corner* -> Default Apps -> Dropbox -> 'set as default' -> 'Go to supported URLs' -> It was already set to "always ask" I switched it to "always open in app" and it worked.

I have the same issue with my Android (Huawei P30 if it makes any difference)
I can't find any of the options listed here.
Please help
PS: It is ANNOYING not to have any control over something as simple as apps settings.
