I don't have the option to create a Word document in the Dropbox Android app

Question

I can't create a word document from either libreoffice or microsoft word from within the dropbox app. I select a "create or upload file" within db app on android and only an option to create a "text file" emerges. Please advise. This has been going on for months.

Thanks for the additional info, @adlbrk.

Can you try uninstalling both Dropbox and LibreOffice, restarting your phone and then reinstalling them, to see if that helps?
