Ability to attach Dropbox files to email in Mail app on Ipad has disappeared
I have regularly been able to attached documents from Dropbox when creating an email on OSX Mail app. However, now I am not able to. Steps that fail are below: Create email on iPad with Mail. Tap on the paper clip icon OR tap in the body to get banner of options, including Add Attachment Window opens with file access options; under LOCATIONS, find ICloud Drive, On My IPad, and Recently Deleted. No Dropbox option. No MORE... button anywhere to add Dropbox as a choice for Mail to attach documents. I have looked in Settings for a way to tell either Dropbox to allow access or Mail to get access to Dropbox. No success yet. Please, any solution? I have found discussion of problem with Outlook and referral to Microsoft, but there is no MS Office involvement in this issue. Thanks in advance.Solved28KViews2likes20Comments
Migrate from Evernote to Dropbox Paper
Dropbox Paper is an ideal candidate to replace Evernote. Here's what would need to happen, I believe, for many folks to make the switch. In order of priority: Import Evernote (.enex) data (Dropbox Paper is perfect for this, because each Paper doc cancontains notes, attachments, and links like Evernote notes do.) Webclipper Email to Dropbox Paper ---- Why Dropbox Paper would bebetter than Evernote: Active development BeautifulUI/UX Better collaboration Dropbox is *already* where I keep everything else! Way better device apps, with killer features like scan to document. Dropbox's bulletproof sync and backup. (But if I can't get started by moving my data from Evernote to Dropbox Paper, then this is all moot!)27KViews75likes9Comments

Dropbox Paper freezes on Chrome.
For the past month, I cannot use my Dropbox Paper account in my Chrome Browser on my PC running Windows 11. Anytime I open Paper in Chrome, it immediately crashes Chrome and freezes the whole browser. (Says "not responding" in the top bar). It takes 10-30 minutes to stop on its own to then allow me to close the Paper tab (once the tab is closed all other tabs work as normal), otherwise I need to end task Chrome, close it down and reopen it. It doesn't happen in the browsers Edge or Firefox - works perfectly there. I have cleared cache, deleted cookies, cleared history, etc. that does nothing. Any help would be appreciated, I use DB Paper a lot for work.Solved7.5KViews1like29CommentsUnable to open files with Office Online
When clicking e.g. "Open with Microsoft Online Excel" on a file from the Dropbox website, a loading page shows and then it just ends up becoming a blank page. It used to work, but it seems there's a security policy in the headers on the page preventing communication with Microsoft login services, as the JavaScript console shows the following error: Refused to send form data to 'https://login.live.com/' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "form-action 'self' https://docs.google.com/document/fsip/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/fsip/ https://docs.google.com/presentation/fsip/ https://docs.sandbox.google.com/document/fsip/ https://docs.sandbox.google.com/spreadsheets/fsip/ https://docs.sandbox.google.com/presentation/fsip/ https://excel.purple.officeapps.live-int.com https://onenote.purple.officeapps.live-int.com https://powerpoint.purple.officeapps.live-int.com https://visio.purple.officeapps.live-int.com https://word-view.purple.officeapps.live-int.com https://word-edit.purple.officeapps.live-int.com https://officeapps-df.live.com https://excel.officeapps-df.live.com https://onenote.officeapps-df.live.com https://powerpoint.officeapps-df.live.com https://word-view.officeapps-df.live.com https://word-edit.officeapps-df.live.com https://officeapps.live.com https://excel.officeapps.live.com https://onenote.officeapps.live.com https://powerpoint.officeapps.live.com https://word-view.officeapps.live.com https://word-edit.officeapps.live.com https://paper.dropbox.com/cloud-docs/edit https://www.dropbox.com/ https://dl-web.dropbox.com/ https://photos.dropbox.com/ https://paper.dropbox.com/ https://showcase.dropbox.com/ https://www.hellofax.com/ https://app.hellofax.com/ https://www.hellosign.com/ https://app.hellosign.com/ https://help.dropbox.com/ https://navi.dropbox.jp/ https://selfguidedlearning.dropboxbusiness.com/ https://instructorledlearning.dropboxbusiness.com/ https://sales.dropboxbusiness.com/ https://accounts.google.com/ https://api.login.yahoo.com/ https://login.yahoo.com/ https://pal-test.adyen.com https://2e83413d8036243b-Dropbox-pal-live.adyenpayments.com/".

Ditching Evernote for Dropbox Paper - 2023 edition
Hey all, so evernote is jacking their pricing up again, and I'm just not sure why I keep letting them do this to me. I'm considering moving to paper. Mind you, evernote got pretty fancy from a UI/UX end, and I have been using it for YEARS. I'm pissed I have to consider leaving, but I'm also asking myself why I keep spending money when I already pay for dropbox. Have you all found a way to move files from evernote to paper easily? Am I going to have to rebuild the library again? Have you found a better alternative to evernote and/or paper?4KViews4likes2Comments
Missing floating toolbar in Dropbox Paper
Thefloating toolbar with formatting tools that appears when selecting text is now missing in Dropbox Paper. Granted, I can still do some of the formatting using the keyboard but the toolbar was much more convenient. It was still there two days ago (Friday) but now it's gone! I haven't made any changes to my computer or browser (Windows/Chrome) since then. What's even worse, the Ctrl+K shortcut doesn't work anymore either so it's now impossible to add links! Please fix ASAP!Solved3.2KViews1like1CommentDropbox Paper is not displaying PDF image content when I check online.
We use Dropbox Paper to comment on files and keep all comments in one place. However, when uploading files for our last project, all of a sudden we cannot comment on the file outside of the thumbnail view because the full screen image doesn't appear. It's just a blank screen. This is happening when we link multipage PDFs directly from Dropbox and when we drag and drop single page PDFs from the desktop. Happening on multiple computers and different browsers. We can however open up the files on mobile devices. That's nice, but the images are too small to use for analyzing and commenting. Anyone have a solution for this problem? Thanks!Solved2.9KViews0likes17CommentsHow to upgrade from Legacy Paper?
I found other forum discussions about how to update from Legacy Paper to the "2020 release"... so that we can have our files all organized in Dropbox (storage)... versus the Paper file system. Those discussions suggest that there was not a way to manually upgrade... BUT, since those discussions are 3 or 4 years old... I figure there must now be a way to do it... Right? There is a way to upgrade now, right? (Insert "Anakin / Padme meme here)Solved2.3KViews2likes8Comments
