Upload markdown file to Dropbox paper (and edit)
I have a local markdown file (file.md), but I'd like to upload this and share in a Dropbox folder, and be able to edit the file in my browser using Dropbox paper--is this possible? Thank you! - ...

Dropbox StaffThank you @Lusil !
Will this functionality be added at some point? I'm just wondering because it's very helpful for those of us with a plain-text workflow :)

Hej Lusil !
Now when it's possible (for some accounts) to see Paper documents in the Dropbox structure, and they are .md:s, shouldn't the 'opposite' be possible? I.e. editing .md documents uploaded to Dropbox in Paper?

Hey magnusx, thanks for nudging us on this thread.
In general, any Paper doc that appears with your other files will have a .paper extension and be separate from an .md file.
If you have the relevant third party app (like a text editor), you should be able to edit .md files locally from your Dropbox folder.
I understand that this may not be the ideal reply you were looking for, but let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
