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 support this - it must integrate with my Dropbox folders to be of any value in live projects

Agreed!

Same as everyone else. Took the integration for granted an now it seems that Paper is useless as a stand alone app.

Looking forward to an update making it possible to have Paper inside the Dropbox hierarchy. Until then it's back to Evernote for both me and the teams I handle.

Storing Papers in dropbox folders is so obvious and should have been in the design center from the start.

You just lost another enthousiast.

Same as what everyone is saying, so obvious, not being able to save it in our existing dropbox filing system makes it useless and we were excited to have a platform that we could all work at the same time. No "so and so is making changes","accept so and so changes" but you can't make changes until you do... Anyway, most importantly, when will this be added to Paper? Any rough timelines? Would like to know if I need to forget about Paper until next busy season. Thanks!

This is a great idea. I think Paper docs also could be implemented as the separate folder on Dropbox.com.

Like we already have "Camera Uploads" folder, it would be awesome if new docs I'm creating will appear on the "Paper" folder. But then I can move them between any other folders within personal or team account.

 

Maybe something like this:

Thanks!

Yup, lovely as it is, it's a complete waste of time for these two reasons:

 

1. If it's not syncing directly to part of my dropbox tree, I can't edit or use other tools to work with it.

2. Other tools are better at this kind of document editing. Dropbox has excelled at being a storage provider, but this platform completely ignores what *made* dropbox a success in the first place. 

3. A proprietary storage space, and I suspect a proprietary document format, means another useless dead-end silo

4. If I can't round-trip documents elsewhere, you're treating me as a product, not a customer.

 

I can't get over Paper. The more you look at it, the less sense it makes.

Dovhyi, 

 

why seperate folder ?

imo it is better to leave the organisation of folder to the user, not the 'system'.

 

The only good way is to introduce a 'paper' extension, and mix paper-files with other files at locations choosen by user.

 

No?
