Change default Open With to open on Dropbox Preview

How do I change the default Open With back to Dropbox Preview - it is now going to Google Docs and I want to change it back to Dropbox Preview.

    Hi Fazad, I hope you're doing well!

     

    Since you want to change your content to open with Dropbox instead of Google, can you try to check your related settings here, to make sure your files open in Dropbox? 

     

    If the settings are already adjusted, let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

    Thank you Megan - nice to know about this area to change settings. I knew it had to be there somewhere! 🙂
