notes save as *.txt

Hi Rainer,

As I understand it, you want to open/edit content-* files in android phone. One way to achieve this is using ES File Explorer.

Here are the steps:
- Activate 'Open As' menu, either by tapping on the file or long press on file > more > Open As, from inside ES File Explorer.
- Tap Text option, Open As menu has text, audio, video, etc. options, tap on text option. This would provide list of apps to open the file. You can choose any app you like to edit the file.

Please let us know if this works for you.

Cheers,
Sachin

Hi Sachin,

the file content-* is only shown in dropbox-app in android. I reinstalled ES File Explorer and looked for it. But the whole folder ".config" doesn't appear. Within this folder there is the subfolder "xpad" which is containing the files, as You probably know.

I tried to do the same with solid explorer. The folders are found there, but the files within not.

Ok.
I will try to reproduce the issue at my end.

It looks like you have dropboxed the complete
*/home/<user>/.config*folder, and you try to open the xpad
files(content-*) from android.

Is that correct? It will help me reproduce the scenario.

Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin! Yes thats correct!

I used the commands:

mkdir ~/Dropbox/.config
ln -s ~/.config/xpad/ ~/Dropbox/.config/xpad

Hi Rainer,

I think i figured this out!
the problem seems to be in the sync directory ".config". Linux treat folders-with-leading-dot as hidden, that seems to be the issue.

following commands worked in my case(i could see the folder and files in ES File Explorer):

mkdir ~/Dropbox/config
ln -s ~/.config/xpad/ ~/Dropbox/config/xpad

Cheers,
Sachin

Hi Sachin!
Thanks for Your answer. sorry but doesn't work either. Files are hidden.
Message in ES File Explorer (newest version): "folder is empty". Same with
Solid Explorer. I researched about other files, *.pdf for example. And
found out, that they are not visible before I opened them for the first
time in dropbox. I had to select the app to read them and after opening
the pdf in adobe-reader-app, the file appeared in ES File Explorer. Not
before.

Strange, isn't it? But because I can't open the xpad-file, it doesn't
appear in ES File Explorer.

Any idea about that? You wrote that You can see the files...

sincerely
Rainer

Hi Sachin!
It is solved now! After I found out by studying ES Esplorer FAQ that there
is a special dropbox client within by configure that. I thought I had just
to work with ES .

So no more trouble about that.
Thank You!!!

sincerely
Rainer

Good to know that.
