Can I see the name of a Dropbox photo I've uploaded to my Paper doc?

Hi! Is there a way I can see the file name of a photo file that I have added to Dropbox Paper, or otherwise track the thumbnail back to the Dropbox folder where the specific file is stored?

Hey Hudr​! Welcome to our Community and thanks for posting here today. 

At the moment, I’m afraid there’s no way to do this; once a photo is uploaded to your Dropbox Paper doc, its name won’t be visible and it's not possible to open it in Dropbox directly to see its filepath. 

However, what you can do in the future, is leave the name of the original photo in its caption on Dropbox Paper, or in a comment, so that you can easily locate it on your Dropbox account after that. 

Hope this helps a bit, but if you need something else or you‘re having trouble finding a specific file on your Dropbox account, feel free to give me a nudge. 

Cheers.
