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?

Dear friends from Dropbox,

 

First of all I'd like to thank you for continuously providing such an excellent service. 

 

I responded to this topic quite some time ago, chiming in with the request of dozens of other users here of having a full integration of Paper and Dropbox folders. After that, I've read (only) one reply from the Dropbox team, saying that this was being looked into, but without a clear forecast as to when it would be available. Since then, you have remained very quiet about this. 

 

Undoubtably there are technical and/or commercial reasons why you would give priority to the development of Showcase, or some of the other nice features that we've seen come into play over the years, but still I'd like to emphasize that the lack of integration between Paper and Dropbox is, to my feeling, becoming the elephant in the room. At some point you took the initiative of questioning users about the added value they saw in such an integration. I never quite understood that, as the added value is to my opinion so blatantly obvious that there is no need to write an essay about it. In the mean time, some of your competitors have been supporting the integration of note taking and cloud storage for some time, and I must say that the temptation of migrating towards another platform is starting to grow on me, because (and only because) of this one painful hiatus in your service.

 

So could you please give us a status, a planned date, or in the worst case just a clear statement saying you will never implement this, so that the outlook is clear and each user can decide for her or himself whether to stay with Dropbox or not.

 

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

@Stijn B. "hear hear" as they say in British Parlement.

 

 

I assume you are referring to Evernote ?

 

AnywayI am not going to switch to DB until this is integrated.

I am a developer and I would love a feature that will integrate my Dropbox Paper docs with my Dropbox files. 

This is so I would be able edit my files in vim directly and be able to access them in dropbox paper.

 

Are you guys developing something like this?

 

Thank you for your product!

My DB subscription just expired, and based on the non-interaction of DB with its users, who in different threads have asked for this integration, I've decided to vote with my euro's and not renew.

I've not renewed my subscription because of the lack of response here.  If DB doesn't care about its users, then why should I use my money to support the service.  Either decide that Paper is a failed experiment and cut it, market it as a fully separate product, or integrate.  Now you're letting it create confusion and negativity.

Hey Dropbox Team,

 

here are another 7 people who would love to add Papers into Dropbox folders. The duplicate folder structures do drive us a bit mad.

 

Especially when we have written content (Paper) that is clearly attached to other files.

 

For example: A video script that we collaborate on in Paper, plus all video production files. That should all be in the same folder structure.

 

Thanks for listening

So it has been around two years and you can't have a DropBox paper document in a team folder?

I prefer Stijn's approach, but I share Adam's feelings. While this is a technical hurdle, thought should be put into the user experience. I simply do not use Paper because it would be a place where I would lose content if it is yet another bucket.

May I recommend you steal a computer engineer from Google? Sorry, it's hard to get over this issue. I only use Paper with one client now but would do so a lot more if the integration were to happen. As it is my loyalty cannot ever veer from Google/Drive/Docs. That is too bad because I actually like Paper. I like that it is so simple and minimal and it is refreshing to not feel like I'm in Office-land as I do when I use Google Docs. Unfortunately, functionality trumps most of the time and I hope that you make it your goal to maximize it.
