    It looks like you're on the 2020 release of Paper while the Paper Folder and doc you’re looking at was created by someone who isn’t using the 2020 release of Paper yet Laney_Grace

    If you'd like to share your Paper docs with them, I'd suggest that you shared them from your end directly as there isn't a way to add your Paper docs to this Paper folder.

    I understand that this is not optimal, but I hope this helps to some extent.

Thanks for your reply!

 

I can find the paper folder with search, which is great! But I can't add other papers I've created to it. I wonder if only the owner is able to do this.

 

I would prefer to work with a regular shared folder like you mentioned, but the group organizer has set it up this way and there are already quite a few documents in the folder so it wouldn't be expedient to create a new one.

 

Thank you again!
