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?
It'd be so useful if we could open/edit/preview Dropbox-specific files (that are document or PDF files) automatically in Dropbox Paper when we click to open it from Dropbox! I think it'd be a step closer to making Dropbox into a collaborative productivity suite!
I agree, that would be vary handy!
Any news?
Intended use:
Encrypt notes with boxcryptor and edit notes with paper locally on multiple platforms.
- Same as everyone else. Took the integration for granted an now it seems that Paper is useless as a stand alone app.
Looking forward to an update making it possible to have Paper inside the Dropbox hierarchy. Until then it's back to Evernote for both me and the teams I handle.Storing Papers in dropbox folders is so obvious and should have been in the design center from the start.
You just lost another enthousiast.

Thank you.
PS: Hey Liz, I renamed your topic's subject to : "FR: Saving dropbox paper to existing Dropbox team folder" . FR = Feature Request, thanks!
- Like everyone else I really don't understand the point of paper being separate from Dropbox. Been a pro user of Dropbox for a while now sharing project folders with clients and was happy to see paper notes as a means to organize activities and items within existing folders. I invited a client to a paper folder to look at action items and then had to invite them to a separate Dropbox folder to upload files listed in the action items. They were very confused. Plus it's too much work to ask a client to do this. I just could've used slack to manage this project instead. I'm really rooting for you Dropbox and hoping that you make this make sense. Seems it would've been obvious to integrate the services.
I want to use Paper to create READMEs and Release Notes for builds on DropBox. However, when I select "Add to folder" in the top left, the only option is Example Docs. "Choose another..." doesn't offer any of the folders on DropBox.
How do I move a Paper document to a DropBox folder, or start a Paper document from a DropBox folder?
Thanks.

I am sorry to say, there is not an integration between the paper folder and the Dropbox folders.
The best thing you can do is put a readme in the dropbox folder with a link to the paper document. Or invite the people individually.
I wish I could give better news.

Is this limitation something that is being considered/addressed in a future release?

Hi! I'm a big fan of Paper and have been using it more and more frequently. One thing that would definitely improve my work is the option to save Paper files to other folders - for example team folders. Any idea if / when this will be possible.
Thanks!
lukeyoGreat idea, and I'm just checking - do you mean dropbox folders? or paper folders? Currently the two don't interact like that. You can embed DB files in a paper doc, but you can't store a paper doc in a DB folder.
Also - if you share your idea here then others can comment and vote on it!

I agree! We really need this. It makes a lot of sense - not sure why it wouldn't have been have introduced when paper docs were released.

Thanks for following up Liz!
Yes to everything Elizabeth M. said.
- +1 for integrating Paper documents to existing folders.

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.
