Dropbox StaffiOS text editor is now available!
We are happy to announce that iOS now has a text editor! You can access this feature on any text file from the toolbar in the lower left corner.
I can confirm that between 62.2.2 and 64.2.2, the problem editing text files with special characters has returned. See mine for a simpler example than mtvgn's

Dropbox StaffHi again,
I spoke to our engineers and it looks like the initial solution we've found out was breaking some Asian encodings because of inherent ambiguity between them, so it had to be switched off for the time being.
I don't have estimates to when a fix will happen so a suggestion if you want to edit the file, is to convert it to UTF-8.

QUESTION:
I use to use the text editor PlainText 2....it stopped working so I am glad you can edit text in Dropbox now.
ANYWAY, is there a way to make it so it auto syncs when you open up the app and still have the file open in Dropbox mobile app?
On Plaintext for example I could edit the text file on my computer and when I unlocked my phone with the Plaintext app still running it would auto sync.
On Dropbox right now you have to back out of the file and let it sync and then click on it again on the Dropbox mobile app to make sure you have an updated copy.
Please advise.
