On my iPhone, I used to click on the file and it would open it automatically.

I clicked on a txt file and Note 3 says it cannot open it.

Is there a way to make it open when I click on the file on a web page?

If not, what app do I need?

Thanks.

You could also install Kingsoft Office from the play store. It's free and will open PDF, txt, docx and about any other Microsoft Office format.

Well if you set the default app to open the .txt files, it should open automatically when you select the file using your file browser.

They open fine using astro file Explorer.

It doesn't open if you select the recent downloaded file from the notification panel.

I did some more testing for you and learned that in order to get this to open right away, you will have to switch Internet browsers.

Both Chrome and the default browser will not open the file like you requested.

I tried three other browsers and it worked. Here are the browsers it worked:
Firefox, Dolphin, and UC browser.

wow. Thank you. I have Uc browser and it works better. I didn't expect Chrome to have a disadvantage like this. Thanks again
