Sadly, the last update to Dropbox Paper ended the "export all at once" feature. This means that all work done only ever exists on Dropbox's servers and there is no backup on my local computer. As long as I could export all at once, I could do weekly backups in case things go awry. This is not possible anymore in the new version. This means I will not be able to use the Paper feature anymore as I cannot accept unsecured work and exporting paper documents one by one for Backup is not practicable. Please bring "export all at once" back to Dropbox Paper.
I made this suggestion over 2 weeks ago after having a mail exchange with support. I don't see any will by Dropbox to change this. I will be blunt. Paper is the one thing that kept me with Dropbox. My subscription is on the line over this, and I know dozens of others who feel the same way. I feel sorry for the direction things took but all competitors of Dropbox allow export all at once.
I agree! The ability to export all docs is essential. I don't understand why this was removed. Please bring this back! For me as well, being locked in like this (since manually exporting each single document on a regular basis is not practical) is a dealbreaker.

PS: In the meantime, note that you can select multiple Paper docs and save them as PDF, PNG or JPG (to put in a folder and download manually if needed).
Thats cute but it does not help. We need editable file formats for backup. I have stopped using Dropbox for essential work since the update and if the "export all at once" feature is not back when the next renewal of my Dropbox subscription comes up, I am out. All your competitors have it.
