Cannot open text files. Undefined error.

When I try to open text files in dropbox from windows explorer I get "Undefined error" (translated from swedish). The local files with green check mark opens fine. When I select to make file local it opens fine, but this should not be required. What is wrong?

    Hi there herrliedholm, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Can you please send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting so that we can have a visual too?

     

    Also, what's the desktop app's exact status and version as shown in your system tray at the moment?

     

    Thanks!
