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?

Hey all, wondering if there is currently a way, or one on the horizon, where I can use a single Dropbox folder to house both static docs (PDFs, Word, Excel) along with Paper docs. Would be incredible / revolutionize everything if we'd be able to save them to a single folder.

At the moment to my knowledge just like yours, there is no way to do this. My best solution (persoanlly) is place a text file in the folder with a link to the paper doc. 

 

Uusally Dropbox never comments on upcoming features. Just incase plans change, development hits a snag etc.

Hey @theshanklin welcome to the Community! :slight_smile:

 

Please keep in mind that Dropbox and Paper are separate systems at the moment, so it’s not possible to save Paper docs within your file structure. This is also why Paper docs are kept separately from your Dropbox files, and why Paper has its own app of mobile devices.
 
It's also not currently possible to create or access Paper doc within your Dropbox folder structure. 
 
However, you can always create Paper folders for organizational purposes: Dropbox Paper Folders 
 
Hope this helps, and let me know if there’s anything else you need assistance with or if you have any further questions. Thanks and have a happy Friday!

PS. I'm more than happy to forward this question over to our Paper developers as feedback for future consideration.

Thanks for the info. Not what I was hoping, but good to know there's not something I missed.

 

Could you please pass on my feedback to the Paper developers!

I have the same question as many of Paper users. 

It would be very useful to save Paper doc in "classic" Dropbox folder. 

today we have to manage two Dropbox parts (Dropbox and Dropbox Paper) - not so easy nor efficient. 

 

We use paper to prepare a meeting or to follow up a meeting. We also draft the main ideas of a projet

 

So it would be very useful to save these Paper docs with other files we have on the same project / topic. 

 

At least to have a link to it.

No problem, and absolutely, I'm on it!

I'll file a feedback request with our Paper developers on your suggestion. 

Happy Friday!

I'm starting to regret my decision to choose Dropbox and Paper for my business because of this. Please fix!!

Dropbox Paper is bound to perish if you do not enable this integration soon. Having to switch from one to another is awkward, time-consuming, and very confusing for people who are not tech-savvy. It bamboozles me that you did not think of this when releasing Paper! Disappointed.

Wow I just realized people were asking for this integration since 2016 and Dropbox still could not manage to make this happen. SAD.
