We used to embed Hackpads using the JavaScript Embedding API. Is there a similar thing available for Dropbox Paper and/or is it something similar coming soon? Is there an alternative way of embedding Paper Docs?

No, we don't currently have an API for or way to embed Paper, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when we would have something like that though.

Thanks! Just a way of embedding would make it a lot more powerful. We really like the clear structure and functionalities beyond Hackpad

Hi. I'd like to second the request for a means to embed paper docs as was possible in hackpad. Ideally we could grab a list of folders then list documents comtained via an api and then embed the doc content. Thanks!

me too, it was a very useful feature and one of the main reasons we used Hackpad, and now I am having to move away to Google docs because of this

I agree with you on this, its all a little clunky, the best way would be to have the paper docs in dropbox folders, for example, we have a main customers folder and inside we have one master folder for each customer, now we had to replicate this in paper separately.

For reference, we now have a Paper API:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#paper

It doesn't offer a way to embed documents, but we'll still tracking that in particular that as a feature request.
