Why can't I open my map in Drive on my android phone?

Question

I save the map to my Drive on my Laptop but when I go to look at it the map on my Drive on my Android phone  it can't open it cos a Json file isn't recognised.  I downloaded an Json file reader from the App Store but it made no difference.

The same goes for Dropbox. It can't open a Json file either even on the Laptop but you say they are all compatible.

How can I view my work other than on my Laptop?

Answer 1

First of all, this app was initially designed without smartphones (touch devices) in mind. But, you can open and view your mindmaps and do modifications. We are soon implementing support for touch friendly devices.

You can open maps stored in google drive.

To open it via browser in smartphone, point it to http://app.mindmapmaker.org and click on 'Document'->Open->'Open' beneath 'Google Drive'. There you can choose existing maps like the way it is done via desktop.

To open it via, 'Drive' android app, click on the map file. If it says the filetype is not recognized, then you haven't associated 'mindmaps app' with JSON filetype. First associate 'JSON' filetypes with 'mindmaps app' and then you can open drive files from 'Drive' app directly.
