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?
vza Whoa! Thanks for the Fibery tip! I had been looking for something exactly like this! It would be cool to build apps (without coding) to replace all the tools we're using, and then sync that up with Dropbox. :)
try to make dropbox an integreated solutions. that everythings happend in dropbox. It is not great to hace diferent apps, (paper) make a platform that you can do all your need in dropbox. (Scan, mails, pdf corrections, storage etc.) you are close, but make it all in one.
love dropbox
Integrate Paper docs in my Dropbox like a normal docs
Not sure if this workaround would help anyone but I just create a we link in my space to paper files and pin the weblink. Specifically I use this when I create a timeline in Paper.
Is integrating Paper and Dropbox a dead issue? It would appear that after 6 years of hearing that it is imminent, that integration is just never going to happen. And the problems that the lack of an integration create become more claring every day. Bummer.
Same for me. I asked to support to have an ETA for Paper 2020 rollout and they gave me a general answer saying they are in progress and that the work should be done in the next few months. They said the same 6 month ago. Probably the naming "Paper 2020" was not so appropriate.
I would love to have the ability to drag documents into a folder on the left side directory bar just like Google Drive.
There are quite a few users (e.g. academic users, researchers, coders), I imagine, who have an external editor they like to use (e.g. sublime or emacs or some markdown editor) and also a separate primary work environment (e.g. emacs org-mode). I'm one of those users, using emacs and org-mode for most of my work. (I keep my files with Dropbox, of course, wink wink).
I also enjoy using dropbox paper because (1) It's easy to open and start writing, and (2) it's easy for people to read, and (3) the document interface is lean and without the feeling of a full editor, like google docs, which I immensely enjoy and appreciate, and (4) at least for me, easy LaTeX and drag-and-drop or copy-paste image import (e.g. taking a screenshot, copying it to clipboard, and simply ctrl-v-ing to screen) are really important.
But it's also a bit odd that these documents only lie in Dropbox web interface, and they need to be exported (to .md or to .doc) in order for me to view or edit on another offline editor.
It would be great if (1) there could be an actual location on Dropbox -- a folder -- where the most current version of Dropbox paper documents can be synced to (preserving their original folder and file structure), and (2) optionally, if there could be an export option to .org files, or some seamless sync with .org files, this would be awesome.
My example workflow would be:
1. Have a brilliant idea, during a meeting.
2. Quickly open Dropbox Paper, and write a bunch of notes with figures and LaTeX (awesome!)
3. Later, when I have more time, using my editor (emacs), I can open this document from an actual Dropbox folder (synced to my computer).
- Ideally, this would be an .org file, or an .md file at the least,
4. Edit it using my editor,
5. Then, later, when I need to (1) make quick edits, or (2) give a presentation, or (3) share this file with someone, I open this same document on Dropbox paper and take these actions.
Any updates to this?
