I have students complete peer reviews for assignments in a coding class. They submit MATLAB code files (with .mlx and .m extensions), and their peers are supposed to download them, test them, and provide feedback.

There isn't an issue with the .mlx files (surprisingly), but the .m files are automatically converted to annotated PDFs when they are downloaded, and those do not run in MATLAB. Students have just been copying and pasting the text from the preview into MATLAB, but that bypasses some of the critical file-naming convention skills that the original student needed to demonstrate. It looks like this is an issue for Excel files as well.

Any tips on how to bypass this automatic conversion? Or is this a feature request?
