Saving Paper docs to existing Dropbox folder structure/file-system.
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'd like to add on to this request. At work we have a brand folder that we use to house relevant documentation. I would like to be able to have Paper documents in this folder (i.e. Brand > Technical Documents > Imagery Requirements/Process Documentation/Et Cetera). It is important to us that these documents are visible within the "standard" Dropbox folder hierarchy, and not "hidden" within browser.

Ditto on all these comments... 4 years later and still no integration?? I don't want to use Google Docs or Office. I want to use Dropbox Paper, but keep the docs with all my other related files in my existing Dropbox file structure. I bet if a survey was sent out, this feature would be highly voted for.
- slidedesignrHelpful | Level 6^I agree 100%. How is full integration of Dropbox and Paper not on the horizon? This makes no sense for Dropbox to be integrated with Office 365, and not its own product. This renders Paper effectively useless. Time to move all of my documents off of it, and onto Office 365/OneDrive?

At the risk of piling on with regard to this topic, it would appear that Dropbox valued the "integration" concept highly enough that they made 3rd party editor integration a priority and rolled it out with great fanfair. Yet when it comes to their own application (Paper), they apparently don't value it enough to give it the same treatment. If Word and Google Docs are invaluable resources ...why not Paper? There MUST be more to this than meets the eye. Consider this another hand raised for prioritizing Paper/Dropbox integration.

I'm with Walter. I fully believe the 95 votes are only a fraction of people that want this feature. My requests are on behalf of my whole office. It's not a huge office, but we still need workable features. Instead, we get a new file system for our desktops that is completely not needed in our environment while we still await other, more useful features.

@walter Thanks for pointing me towards this post and thread.
I am beyond sad that my hopes for Paper and Dropbox folders aren't going to be a reality. Really sad!
And I am really shocked to see this has been a request from 2015.
Is it not being taken as seriously because it "only" has 95 upvotes? How many are needed? By reading the posts, and even more importantly their tone, it seems that the integration would make Dropbox a gamechanger and help them move to the forefront of the market. Users have said they will gladly migrate from Evernote and Google Drive. Me being one of them. Is the code for both too complex to merge? Is it a security issue?
I can tell you, for my needs, making a pdf of the Paper document and uploading it to Dropbox doesn't help the document stay alive. Most of the time, I will want to use Paper for to-do lists, comments, group collaboration, etc.
If this issue isn't at the top, how can we help escalate this to the top of the Feature Request list?

As your post echoes an already existing - and popular if I may add - feature request.
