Hello forum,

i got a problem with the IOS App. I updated today because i hoped for a fix but i got the same error.  
I can create text files, markdown files but i cant edit them in the app. I think half a year a go i can click on the files and an editor opened. Now i only get the option open with other IOS apps…  
Is there a workaround or maybe a soultion how to fix this ?  
Because it was very helpfull to stay in the NC App to edit these files.

Best regards  
Leon
