Open Unsynced Files with Default Apps

Question

Synced files populate a dropdown menu with your default app for opening files (i.e. acrobat for pdf files). This should be maintained with "unsynced" files as well. This is a critical and simple programming effort. One click would sync the file and also open the file. This would be a MAJOR BOOST in how the desktop application works.&nbsp;

Hi arshia m., thanks for posting!

Could you what you mean by unsynced file? Is this a file on the site but not on your computer, or the opposite?
&nbsp;
This will help me to assist further!

Hi&nbsp;Jay&nbsp;&nbsp;I mean files that are on dropbox.com but not synced with the computer.&nbsp;

Walter · Answer

Are you referring to files that have been selective un-synced from the computer or online only files perhaps arshia m.?
