Upload markdown file to Dropbox paper (and edit)

I have a local markdown file (file.md), but I'd like to upload this and share in a Dropbox folder, and be able to edit the file in my browser using Dropbox paper--is this possible?   Thank you! - ...

    I just wanted to add that you should be able to upload, share and preview a markdown (.md) file via the website, but not edit it. However, you should be able to edit it via your mobile app. 
     
    I hope this helps to some extent! :grin:

I'd love to see markdown features included with the ability to upload, edit and download (as regular md files) to allow for a certain level of future-proofing!

Paper is a great for everyone in the team, but would love to use it instead of github for dev-related markdown files
