Saving Paper docs to existing Dropbox folder structure/file-system.

Saving Paper docs to existing Dropbox folder structure/file-system.

Hi

A number of us have started using dropbox paper at work. We want to save documents that we create in paper to an existing Team folder but I can't see how to do this. Any ideas anyone?

I have the same problem! Dropbox should do the same as Box they have boxnotes totally integrated with box cloud, they evan a desktop application for that

I have to agree - creating another separate folder system makes no sense and makes the whole thing quite cumbersome. I have also being trying out Showcase, but that has very limited functionality and wrt integration and collaboration! 

 

I have to make a decision amongst alternative options very quickly and so it would be good to know what Dropbox plans to do. I would prefer to remain with Dropbox.

 

Thanks,

Chips

 Not going to belabor the point.  Connecting to exisitng DB folders seems like a no brainer.  Any word on when this will happen or why it can't?

Anyone know when this might happen? It's really stupid that you can't save the 'paper' docs in the same folder as an uploaded PDF. 😕 DOH!

+1 for this workflow support. 

I want to keep all my files in one place (isn't that the dropbox value prop?) and organised they way I want them to be. Currently, I can't do that with my Paper docs.

 

I'd love to see a version of this implimented allowing me to keep all my different types of files in the one place in dropbox.

As Dropbox is not giving any timing for implementing a true integration between Paper en Dropbox folders, and not even a clear statement of intention to do so, I've decided to give up on this. I've dropped Paper altogether, and have now taken to using the integration with MS Office Word and Excel documents to cater for my "living" document needs in project folders on Dropbox. It's clunky and quite heavy but it works.

Stijn,

 

Google Docs might be your friend 😉

I did use Google docs for a long time and like the wealth of editing functions, but I like Dropbox scan and sharing features and have been building up a huge volume of data in Dropbox over the last years so it would be a hell of a job to migrate.

This is not solved - I am working with a group that uses Dropbox instead of Google Drive & I need a way to interactively edit a document with them short of me making edits, uploading them & then repeating this process until the entire group finds the document acceptable.

+1 for sure. Paper, you have made an enjoyable composition tool. It needs some stuff. I know that you can't make everyone happy at one time, but leveraging your current audience (Dropbox users) is going to help you out by helping us out. Combining the working document  with the existing dropbox structure through some sort of association would be very helpful. *honestly, I can't use your tool much until that happens.*
