Hi Graham, could you provide a link to an APK of the previous version? I believe this bug was introduced in the latest version.

Just started my own similar thread on this, I can't edit HTML files in Dropbox anymore as of the most recent update, only text files. It's not a beta issue, I'm using 320.2.10. Dropbox Text Editor seems to function for text files only now. With HTML files it now only offers the options to view in browsers, not edit. There's no way to add any other apps to the "open with" list.
Yes I could edit them on my laptop, but I do most of my work on my tablet when away from my computer. The app removing this option greatly eliminates previous functionality. I really hope this option can be returned in another update. ☹️
