Saving Paper docs to existing Dropbox folder structure/file-system.

OK So I was have the same frustration and until DB gets is S#%@ together here is the workaround.... 

I integrated the folder which is shared with the team into the Main Project Folder with a link so we could easily go back and forth. Yes this is an extra step and it's dumb but, this is the best I've got. I tried to explain in these pictures. 

I hope this makes sense. 

I was also able to share with links in docs to other docs with in the paper folder.... 

+1 for integrating Paper documents to existing folders.

+1 for this as well. This was the first thing I tried to do, and it's the only feature that prevents us from using dropbox as a full platform for docs/files.

Seems like you can let the docs be in any folder, and if someone is using it on the desktop, it functions as a link to the browser doc. Obviously future feature would be desktop client for editing.

why has this been marked as solved? It hasn't been solved at all - we want to save paper's files to dropbox existing folders.

I'm looking to move to the new Google team drive for good now, and ditch dropbox altogether. It seems like the developers have no plans to make this functionality work.

Dropbox Paper would be decidedly more useful on a number of levels if users had a menu option for Dropbox files to open them within Dropbox Paper, then save edited versions back to Dropbox from the browser (particularly if I just want to edit a few lines of code in a script).

Right now, if I want to edit an existing document, I must open a new Dropbox Paper document, import the content from dropbox, edit it, copy and paste the edited content into a desktop application, delete the original file, then upload the amended file to the original location.  This process is highly inefficient and I would be better off just downloding the file and editing it in the application I would end up pasting it into anyway.

Anyone know when this might happen? It's really stupid that you can't save the 'paper' docs in the same folder as an uploaded PDF. :/ DOH!

+1 for this workflow support. 

I want to keep all my files in one place (isn't that the dropbox value prop?) and organised they way I want them to be. Currently, I can't do that with my Paper docs.

I'd love to see a version of this implimented allowing me to keep all my different types of files in the one place in dropbox. 

As Dropbox is not giving any timing for implementing a true integration between Paper en Dropbox folders, and not even a clear statement of intention to do so, I've decided to give up on this. I've dropped Paper altogether, and have now taken to using the integration with MS Office Word and Excel documents to cater for my "living" document needs in project folders on Dropbox. It's clunky and quite heavy but it works. 

Stijn,

Google Docs might be your friend ;-)

I did use Google docs for a long time and like the wealth of editing functions, but I like Dropbox scan and sharing features and have been building up a huge volume of data in Dropbox over the last years so it would be a hell of a job to migrate.
