Dropbox Paper preview shows an option to open it via another tab, and it doesn't preview

Is there an option to preview Dropbox Paper files?

Just like it happens with .pdf .doc ...

Now it only shows the option to open it on another tab.

    Hi Francis-sollutia, currently, it isn't possible to preview Paper docs in the quick preview window. 

     

    In order to view them, you would need to open them directly.

    Hey Francis-sollutia! Hope you’re doing great.

     

    Are you referring to the quick preview sidebar that’s available on www.dropbox.com? 

     

    If yes, can you send me a screenshot of what appears on your end? 

     

    Keep me in the loop.

    Hi, Nancy , thanks for your answer.

    That's it, the quick preview sidebar.

    With paper documents there's no preview:

     

    I'm not sure if there's an option for .paper previews.

    Than you!
