Moving file from Dropbox Paper to a current regular Dropbox Folder

Hello,

I have set up our business accounts on what I thought was Dropbox but it is only visible on Paper. This is no use to our accountant because all shared files from other businesses open together in Paper mixed in with ours.

How can I move the shared files over to Dropbox?

Thank you

Dropbox Paper

    Hi Raquel, currently it isn’t possible to move or merge Dropbox Paper docs with normal Dropbox folders, though we are looking to improving the integration between the two different systems.
     
    I’ll add your comments to the requests sent to our dev team for their awareness.

    You guys seriously need to fix it.  THE UX is terrible with way too many "lost" or duplicate paper docs in others' user accounts.  I causes the inability to share specific locations easily on top that.  In our business accounts for both paper and docs, the paper side is a mess of folders.  This is because people expect to do exactly that - move the content of what I'm documenting to the folder in which the project/team/files/tasks/etc are stored....This is basic logic.  PLEASE fix this.
