Dropbox Paper
54 TopicsImpossible to select and copy/paste text in Dropbox Paper on the web
Since yesterday it is impossible for me to select and copy/paste text in my Dropbox paper documents. I can write, type, and modify it, but if I want to select an entire sentence to move it, I simply can't! Dropbox won't let me select a single word and that is a problem because I write on dropbox and then publish the texts on another website (I can't just download the text in pdf to import it to the other website as pdf isn't supported there.) I checked on other softwares and my mouse, it comes from Dropbox. I am on windows and using the dropbox website, not the computer application. Is anyone else having the same problem?Solved1.2KViews0likes5CommentsHow do I add link previews into Dropbox Paper?
I have a Paper doc that I created a couple of months ago, and at the time I added some links to various websites. These links gave me the option of creating a preview of the site, so I added those. Now, for some reason, when I add new links I don't get any such option and I cannot figure out why. Is this broken? Was it a temporary feature? Is there any way to troubleshoot? I've been been searching and I cannot find any information on this (except very old posts from users compaining about the opposite - they don't want the previews...). Can anyone help? Is this dependent on my browser? OS? 😕Solved914Views0likes4CommentsDropbox Paper needs text color option
We've been using Dropbox Paper for a couple of years and love how easy it is to combine info/track/collaborate with our partners using this tool. However, we would LOVE to have the ability to change text color like many other apps already have in place. We are a creative team within a live events company, and being able to parse out info so it's easily scannable and matches with our color coding systems elsewhere would be huge. Could this be added to your hot list?807Views1like2CommentsHow can I insert two images side by side in a Paper document?
Hi I'm SO new to use Dropbox. I'd like you all to teach me how to make a good document. I wanna know about those below. 1. How to insert 2 or more pics side by side. I tried to put the other pic next to the first pic i inserted, but it always goes to another line like below or above. 2. How to change inserted pics sizes. I wanna insert pics in same size side by side, but always one pic is bigger and the document looks not professional. it'd be appreciated if there's any helpful tips too! Thank you.1.2KViews0likes6CommentsHow do YOU access Dropbox?
Hi Dropbox community - I'm a design researcher here at Dropbox. I'm curious about how you access Dropbox! How do you access Dropbox: the website,the desktop app (for mac/windows), and/or the mobile app (iOS, android)? For those you use, why do you use them? For those you don't, why not? Is there anything you wish you could do on one that you can't today? Why?9.5KViews6likes11CommentsReorganizing Files on Laptop - Dropbox Paper Files now Deleted
Hi - pretty urgent issue here so I'll try to be thorough: Today I spent some time reorganizing the files on my macbook, and as I planned to start using Dropbox for specific file/media types, I started by dragging all the contents of my synced "Dropbox" folder to my macbook's local desktop folder. This seemed to go as expected. I then remembered that I had paused Dropbox's auto-sync and thus the files would still exist in my account, so I used the web app to delete them from Dropbox itself. I wanted to be sure my account was empty before I began selectively re-adding files and turning auto-sync back on. Here's where we get to the issue. The files which were drag and dropped into my desktop folder included 15-20 Dropbox Paper files. The .paper files still appear in those folders which were moved, but when I click them and the browser opens, Dropbox returns a 404. If I open the locally installed Paper app, they all appear in the side bar, but when i click one the screen prompts me to ask permission to access it. I've tried searching Deleted Files for them on the website, but they're not showing up. A search query of type:paper only shows a single document - one that was shared with me by someone else. How can I recover these Paper files? Many of them include important work notes that don't exist anywhere else. Thanks in advance! Edit: If it's helpful/necessary I could also send over the files' URLs or their IDs (e.g. dropbox.com/cloud_docs/view/{id}) so someone can have a look.1.3KViews0likes14Comments
