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 @HammerOz, thanks for posting your thoughts on the Community! 

Although, there isn't currently an option to do this, I'd be more than happy to share your feedback with the dev team. 

I've also moved your post to this thread where other users are expressing their interest in this feature. 

Please don't hesitate to give us a nudge if you have any other ideas or questions, and we'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks!

It would be great to select a folder from Dropbox as the Paper "target" or starting folder, containing a hierarchy of TXT, .md etc files. I was under the assumption that this was already how Paper worked.... Current functionality is great, but lacking an import feature making it nearly impossible to switch over.

I was expecting to be able to save Paper Documents on Dropbox, where I have my whole archive. I see Paper as a very cool editor (I used to be a Google Docs/ Sheets user, but Paper is do much cooler!!). 

So it only makes sense to link the notes editor with the filing system (archive). 

To me it is a big let down if they won’t be linked soon

This thread had been going on for 3 years. How many more years or votes does it need before it's assigned to a Release?

That is a great question. I've been a fan (and user) of Dropbox for years and have been convincing business associates and clients to use it as well for projects we collaborate on. Fewer and fewer of them think it's the best platform for collaboration for this very reason. If my clients won't use it there is less and less reason for me to stay on the platform. I really hope Dropbox takes some action soon.

Looking at alternatives like iA Writer, I quickly found out that Dropbox discontinued their sync API making it near impossible for other developers to solve this problem... This should be addressed immediately. Thanks.

Would love to be able to intergrate Dropbox paper onto my finder in mac! Thanks for considering it.

4 years later, how is this still not a thing?

Dropbox is great, my entire file structure is in it. It's crazy that I can drop docs or links from every competitor into the file structure, but not Dropbox's own product?

Still nothing?

We use a Dropbox folder for each project, and need to be able to organize our Dropbox Paper files in there.
