Hi,

I too faced the same issue after updating Dropbox.  Then today I realized every time I open .kdbx file, it would open the .pdf program instead of Keepass.  As wmacghee mention, he toggle the setting but couldn't find it.  So, I checked in Dropbox and selected the 3 dots next to the .kdbx file and selected "Make available offline".  Then when I open that file, it automatically open the KeePassDroid app.  Then I close everything and went back to same place and disable "Make available offline".  Then I was able to open the file again without issue.  Hope this work for others.  Hopefully the developer fix this permanently in the next update.

 

Thanks.
