Dropbox Community ModeratorHey antozanini, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you please send me a couple screenshots showing this issue, so we can have a visual?
Are you having this issue with other browsers as well as private browsing windows?
Let me know and we'll go from there.
Hey Hannah, thanks for getting back to me!
Just to clarify, this bug applies to the feature itself and isn�t related to the browser or operating system being used (since Markdown exports are generated server-side).
To reproduce the issue:
1. Create a new Dropbox Paper document.
2. Add an image.
3. Export the document to Markdown.
4. Open the generated .md file, and you�ll see that the image reference looks like this: "". As you can see, the image URL starts with "https://paper-attachments.dropboxusercontent.com", a domain that no longer has an A record in DNS (which means it no longer exists).
Here�s an example of a Markdown export from Dropbox Paper opened in a Markdown viewer:

Note that all images are broken because they point to paper-attachments.dropboxusercontent.com, which is no longer a valid domain:

Hope this helps!
Note: I didn't upload the images directly in the post but added links instead because of the "Content Not Published
Your post contains invalid HTML. Remove the following invalid tags before publishing: br (data-end), br (data-start), li (data-end), li (data-start), li-code, li-image, p, p (data-end), p (data-start), span (style)" error.

Thanks for the reply, antozanini!
Would you mind attaching the screenshots themselves to your next reply, from the camera icon under the reply box?
If you're not able to attach the files from that button, try copy-pasting them into the reply box.
This is a serious bug that's affecting all Dropbox Paper users right now!
Try the procedure yourself and you’ll see the issue. Keep in mind that the image upload system in Dropbox Paper also uses that domain, so this key feature is sometimes broken as well:

Thanks for the additional info and screenshots, antozanini.
I've gone ahead and sent you an email, so we can take a closer look at this with our team.
Just get back to me when you have a moment.
Thanks.
