You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Hi
A number of us have started using dropbox paper at work. We want to save documents that we create in paper to an existing Team folder but I can't see how to do this. Any ideas anyone?
Coming from a Google Apps for Business environment, I'm used to create new documents within the folder structure.
I see that Dropbox allows me to create new Office files within a folder but not a new Paper doc. Is there a good reason why? I would like to have my team use Paper for notes, plans and other text-heavy documents instead of the bloated Word, but it's hard if the Paper option is perceived as less simple. Just the option to create a new Paper doc and place a link to that document in the Dropbox folder would do just fine.
1. Can I create a Paper doc (or link to a Paper doc) from within a Dropbox Folder?
2. If not, why?
3. What are best practices to work with Paper with a Dropbox folder structure?

Dropbox StaffHi Jay,
Thank you for the rapid response.
I can see your answer making perfect sense when talking about the synced folders on the desktop. My question was rather based on the Dropbox web interface.
Your final paragraph however explains it, that Paper and Dropbox are two separate services. From my perspective I sincerly hope that will not be the case in the future, since it would be a much better product to have Paper docs living side-by-side with legacy Office documents in Dropbox folders.
I think you consider the way google docs & google drive do. The google docs synced on PC is a url for opening the docs in browser.
