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.

Too many docs, folders not cutting it - need top level Spaces/Notesbooks/Projects (something)

I have lots and lots of notes spanning many many topics.  Folders are somewhat helpful for organization, but it would be really nice to have some higher level of separation similar to 'Spaces' in Confluence, or 'Notebooks' in Evernote.  Each 'space' could have its own folder hierarchy, but would isolate its contents from all other spaces in the UI. 

This feature would also open up the possibility of expanding Paper's Templates to collections of documents and folders.

    Very interesting to see the team is working on this idea. Is this meant to be similar to the "Binder" feature that was previewed last year or is this something new?

    I agree that trying to keep content organized in Paper is difficult.

    I absolutely agree with this. I would couple this with a more comprehensive use of #hashtags. You could browse by folder or virtual folders that pull all Paper notes that have a given tag.

    Thank you for sharing your idea.
     
    We have looked into this, but it is not something we are actively working on at this time. 
     
    We regularly review these ideas, and we will keep you updated if this idea moves forward in the future.
