dropbox-paper is very helpful for me!
but now its making problems', its not uploading true images.
here is a screen shot:
- It's possible that this could be the cause of what you're experiencing.
Unless you get access to a stable WiFi connection, I'd recommend uploading to your Dropbox account directly and then adding the files to your Paper doc from there.

Hi there,
At the moment I am writing my graduation report in dropbox paper. It went well for a while but now I look back at my files and I see that all images give an error (see screenshot). When I click on the link of the file I get to a webpage with the message: "Access Denied". This project is very important to me.
Thanks for the effort,
Sjoerd

I create a Dropbox paper and add pictures.
I did it by different ways - PrinScreen and paste to the Dropbox, using Drag-and-Drop, or just 'Inser image' command.
Everything worked well. But today I cannot do that anymore - I get the error message:

I'm currently unable to upload images to my Dropbox Paper. Below is the error message that kept showing up.
I've been using Paper for months and this is the first time I've had this issue. I'm connected to a high-speed home wifi that is stable.
Is this a system-wide issue? Could the support team look into it, as I cannot make any progress on work at the moment.

@Stefanwork. Unfortunately, that won't work. We always have multiple screenshots on one page.
Any idea why it just stopped working? It was working fine this morning...
Thanks again for your help! I appreciate it!!

Update: If I paste a Dropbox URL for an image onto a blank Paper doc, the image will appear and remain visible above the URL (see screen shot). I can then delete the URL text from the page and still retain the image on the page.
However, that is an inelegant way to post images on a Paper page — and as others have confirmed, the Insert Image method is not working as expected, or even as it has recently.

@Stefanwork. Thank you so much for responding!
I'm not using Wi-Fi, I'm hard-lined directly to the modem. I can everything in Paper except load a screenshot.

That's what happens with me. The image shows up for about three seconds and then I get a message saying "Couldn't load preview".

Adding new images to my Dropbox Paper doesn't preview the images for me anymore.
It's saying "Couldn't load Preview"
