Paper docs tree of folders

Paper docs tree of folders

We started to use a paper for our team wiki, but when you have several categories and lots of docs/permitions, its hard to orient in data layers. Tree of it will be great 👍
Guys from https://www.notion.so made a good job on that, but they are to expensive for us at the moment.

The lack of a filetree is the one thing that keeps me from using paper. I like the editing experience, but it's just to complicated to navigate through my documents.

Came here to request exactly this. It would be a huge help.

Tree folder hierarchy for organising, sorting of our notes?? Paper would be complete. Currently using OneNote and hating it. Evaluating Notion.so, but I'd imagine Dropbox Paper will have more longevity.

I'd be happy to pay for Dropbox Paper, if it supported easier navitation of notes like Notion and OneNote.

If dropbox paper hopes to be something used for serious note taking, it will need some form of organization, whether that means integrating it into the dropbox folder, or adding hierarchical folders

Thanks for your idea - this is not something the team is working on right now. 

However, we do rereview ideas and will update you if that changes!

The absence of this feature is the only thing driving us towards Atlassians Confluence right now ... 

This also seems kind of related:

Using DropBox Paper as a company or personal Wiki would replace Confluence, Notion, Nuclio, MediaWiki etc. for many small companys :nerd:

The Editing Workflow is amazing. Sharing is amazing. Our whole Team just got the hang of it pretty quick. The only thing missing right now is the ability to easily structure a growing collection of documents. A simple intuitive tree view (with drag&drop functionality) would solve a lot of headache in the future. Yes there is a search function, we know... But sometimes it's just not the best way to explore a large collection of "Papers".

Folders + Tree View = Heart

Keep up the great work folks :chart_with_upwards_trend:

Since there is a very similar topic which is marked as "Looking into it" right now ... Isn't it confusing to keep this one open?

Typing notes is incredibly fast with Dropbox Paper.  So it replaces the actual paper for me.  Now that I write a lot of different papers, I need to organize them as quickly as I type.  

Taking notes is one thing, and Paper nailed it.  Now it needs to invest in managing all our notes super fast.  A tree hierarchy would solve that problem and would let us organize our notes the way we see it inside our heads already.
