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've had to move on from Dropbox Paper to Evernote for document collaboration. The years of hearing "it's in the pipeline and will be rolled out soon" has left me realizing it's never going to happen.
Last post 2016 - Is there a solution to this yet?
Hi, I'd like to revive this thread as there is currently still no solution for all Dropbox users. I was told about a year ago by Dropbox Support that the capacity to create or add Paper documents in Dropbox folders was in fact implemented en is currently available, but when I asked why I didn't seem to see the option, I was told that there was a technical issue with the older Dropbox accounts for which it was not made possible yet, but that this would undoubtably be resolved at some point. In the mean time I've seen many new features and integrations being added to Dropbox, but this issue still remains.
Dear Dropbox people, can you please make it a priority to make this feature available also to the older (and very loyal) Dropbox users. Thank you!
I truly admire your persistence on this topic. If only to be happily proven wrong i would love to see progress but i fear this a lost cause and dropbox has long since moved on. Dropbox, if you’re listening, please ads your comments to this thread.
The old API is still up supposedly until they migrate everyone over. It seems that they would want to shut it down eventually, though, so maybe it will still happen?
The page linked above says "expected by the end of 2022", which of course is most likely not happening (as it didn't in 2021 or 2020)...
Stijn Don't mistake my cynicism for lack of support. I'm behind you 100%. I would love to see Dropbox finally do the right thing for all their long time supporters instead of kicking us to the curb as they have done for so long. I will push for this long overdue functionally as long as it takes to get it.
I'm still waiting for this to happen too....but in the meantime...Notion and Amplenote have both been game changers for me.
Good to know I'm not the only one rooting for this Bob R.4 and slidedesignr .
I'm unfamiliar with Notion and Amplenote, will check them out.
Off topic : Coming back to your comment Bob R.4 , it is my impression (and from their communication I believe it to be true) that in the last 5 years or so, Dropbox has shifted its focus entirely to the B2B segment, catering mostly to the demands of business customers. The ratio I suppose is that if it's useful for business customers (who pay), eventually it will hold some added value as well for non-business customers (who are a lot less profitable). While I can understand this from a business-model point of view, it feels a bit frustrating as a loyal end user having used and promoted Dropbox with friends and colleagues, and having pushed it as the solution for the non-profit organization in which I am active.
I fear that your assessment of the situation is spot on. While I am a small business Dropbox client and a paying customer, my subscription is a pittance compared to their enterprise accounts. Having said that, I am still paying for a service and I should have every reasonable expectation that I should get what I was told by Dropbox I should be getting.
Oh Well. At least we know we are not alone in our frustration.
