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?
I think the ability to integrate or link Dropbox Paper documents and Dropbox would be extremely valuable. While I udnerstand the "syncing" issue as the stumbling block, perhaps it would be possible to create a hyperlink or an allias (which would be link masquerading as a physical Paper document, ala Mac OS) that could be put in a dropbox folder and then when clicked the user would be taken to the dropbox paper document residing in(on) Dropbox Paper.
