Issues with exporting a folder from Dropbox Paper

Hi all.

This task is killing Me. I have been battling this for a long time.
I am trying to export a folder of Dropbox paper, containing approx. 150 .paper documents. I want to export them to .docx.
I mark them all and select "Export" and choose .docx format. This is where the frustration comes...

Sometimes it is just stuck on the rainbow wizard with text "Waiting to start". Nothing ever happens.
Other times i actually starts and may reach 100/150, but never progresses from that.

Are there any other otions to export these to .docx? Any 3rd party applications?

Thank you in advance

    Hi there LinkConnect - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Can you please clear your browser's cache and/or try another web browser or an incognito window with no extensions and/or plugins running and let us know if you get the same results?

    Thanks!

      I've also been struggling to export docs out of paper, and my colleague as well. I've even tried to export just a single doc and it freezes on the wizard.
      Just now I tried on a different web browser for a single doc, and it didn't work, but I tried another single doc, and it was successful. I tried again, and got more confident and was even able to download a folder with 17 docs, successfully!
