how to open it
Avatar
The first prompt says (translated to english): "Allow "S3Drive" to install apps? Apps installed from external sources have not been checked for security. Is it allowed to install apps from this source? After allowing the installation, it will be detected online." I am not sure why, but your phone treats this .md as if it was the installation package (e.g. .apk) instead of opening list of apps, so you could select some text file editor. I suspect that this has something todo with your phone security settings, but may well be something in the file. Is it possible by any chance if you could send this file over? Feel free to send it to me directly: tom@s3drive.app

I can open this file in external text editor just fine, I am using Samsung with Android 13. It's hard for me to tell why on your phone it behaves differently, perhaps you could could mess around in the Default Apps settings to see what app is supposed to open text files: https://www.howtogeek.com/43135/how-to-change-the-default-application-for-android-tasks/

I will think about it, but I don't have a clue at the moment. We plan to implement in-app markdown preview: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/markdown-files-preview which shall at least help in your case. By the way, can you download file locally and then open it?

I don't really have OnePlus 11 to test things out. Let's leave this issue here, perhaps there are some other users affected in which case we'll try to find some pattern when it happens and think about the solution. Thanks for your report ! (edited)
