One month down in 2025: How are your resolutions coming along? Check out how to get back on track here.
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?
Same reasons for wanting this: I organize projects in shared dropbox folders. The Paper documents are part of each project. It's awkward to open the shared folder and then find the corresponding document in the (different) Paper interface each time.
yes, please. same as everyone else has iterated.
Adding my vote here. My use case is that I use dropbox to collaborate with customers to share files and a project notes doc. I'd like to share one folder and have it avaialble for them to see all project docs, rather than need to share a folder and a document each time.
The way Box does this works pretty well. If you create a Box Note in the folder, then it's added as a file with extension .boxnote
fwiw, I don't really care about viewing it offline, just having it as a link to the web.
- +1 for integrating paper into the dropbox file structure. I too assumed that this would be part of Paper's design. I collaborate on projects with multiple people. We intended to use paper to collaborate on a research paper, and having the resources and references in the same folder would be convenient. Very curious why it wasn't part of the design brief.
- Paper is great but I agree with others, life is too short to have duplicate structures. I would take up using Paper if I could directly access it from my Dropbox drive without going through a browser.
+1 I would love to see Paper integrated with my existing Dropbox folder structure and be able to add a Paper document to some Dropbox folders that I've shared with my wife. While I find Dropbox superior to Google Drive in terms of reliable syncing, this is a major area where Dropbox is lacking compared to this basic ability in Google Drive.
Without this ability, I'm not going to bother using Paper over Google Drive.
Since this post is labeled as "FR" (Feature Request) I suggest that all users who have been expressing here their desire for the integration of Paper in the Dropbox folders system put a kudo to the post (at the top next to the original text by liz g.4) to raise potential for it to be picked by the Dropbox dev team.
+1 for integration with standard Dropbox folders etc. This is a must for ease of use.
I agree. I was thrilled at the thought of being able to place my Dropbox Paper docs into my existing Dropbox folders. I came to the forum because I couldnt figure out how to do that and am quickly learning why! This just seems like it should have been a part of the original release to allow Dropbox work cohesively. It's been a year since the original post, I hope this is something the Dropbox team is considering fixing soon.
Yep, dealbreaker for me.
On a project we like to have everything in one place / one shared project folder.
Anything else doesn't make sense.
Off to find another solution.
