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?
I really have to add my voice to the chorus here. My team was very excited about using DropBox and Paper together but the fact you can't place Paper documents in your DropBox file structure is astounding and I'm amazed that the DropBox team were asking why this might be desired as far back as 2015.
The value could not be more obvious: integration; everything in one place; one single organisation of content.
Box has Box Notes, which are not a scratch on Paper docs, BUT you can store them in Box folders, as you would intuitively expect.
The fact that we cannot do this with DropBox and Paper is an absolute deal breaker and we will now be looking elsewhere for a solution.
Hi @Lusil,
Is Dropbox at all planning on allowing to store Paper files in the existing Dropbox folder structure? Or won't that be allowed because of the integration with Microsoft Office (we love Paper and we don't want to use Microsoft Office)?
Thanks!
Is it possible to navigate to paper documents from the desktop dropbox folder?

- I agree with many commenters that this is a very important feature as part of using Dropbox + Paper to manage projects. While it is possible to have a file structure in each, this process complicates the management of folders and files, requires additional time to manage, and increases the possibility of duplicating work or losing track of files. It would be great to have an update on this, and what is the recommended solution from the Dropbox Team.
Yes, Dropbox Paper is amazing but I need to be able to save my papers directly into a team Dropbox folder.
Would love an update on an expected timeframe for this!
This is insane that this is not supported functionality.
Guess I'll ... um ... save a word doc with a link to my dropbox paper doc?
- This is a critical feature. As others mentioned, it doesn't make sense to keep track of 2 different project folders. Paper should "live" inside of Dropbox, period. Definitely for Business users. It would be fine if Paper docs are only viewable within Dropbox folders on the web, and not in the synced Dropbox folders locally. That would still be a huge improvement!
Any updates on this paper doc-dropbox linking?
I decided to try papers today for the first time. I am so confused why it doesn't save to my existing dropbox folders. To me there is no point switching from google docs without that, it seems like the most important feature that papers could have.
Please introduce this!!!
