Copy any part of a text in my files in Dropbox
I cannot copy any part of my text in my files in Dropbox. I can select text I want to copy but there is not any function for copyng, from my tablet and my smartphone android too. How can i do?
Hey there Angela7 - how are you today?
I understand you're wondering how to copy a small part of text from a file within your Dropbox account using the mobile app.
Note that the copy and paste function is handled by your device's operating system, not Dropbox. Have you tried doing this via a web browser on your mobile while accessing our website and previewing your files online?
Having said that and as I'd really like to help with this, can you tell me what type of files are these and if this persists if you download the files and open them on your mobile natively?
Thank you for you reply in advance!
