Paper docs tree of folders

Paper docs tree of folders

We started to use a paper for our team wiki, but when you have several categories and lots of docs/permitions, its hard to orient in data layers. Tree of it will be great 👍
Guys from https://www.notion.so made a good job on that, but they are to expensive for us at the moment.

@Rapha at the moment this is available to new users only.

We don’t have a timeline for releasing it to all users just yet, but we’ll be sure to update you when we have more information.

Hi @AidanH, I'll pass your clarification on to the Paper team, but hopefully Paper 2020 will allow you to organize and visualize your notes too!

Why is every new and useful feature released for new users first? What about your loyal long term customers?

Hi, Dropbox team! While the white space on the Dropbox Paper Home screen is nice and not-overwhelming, please consider adding options for each user to customize the use of the screen space. Different display options, smaller sidebar and header...? 

 

And perhaps this one should be separate, but please consider making the folder view show up in the left sidebar rather than in line with the file lists. Having the option always be on the left would be great, perhaps with a simple on/off toggle just for folders, and clicking a folder then displays all the files in the folder in the list view. 

 

Thanks! 🙂

Left navigation - please, please, please add a folder tree. There are so many other competitors out there like Notion, OneNote, NoteJoy - but none provide Paper's pleasure and ease of use.

BUT! You don't have a left nav - and without a folder tree it can get very difficult to assess where in the larger world of all my documents I am.

I know people have requested it. For some reason other apps have this but you guys don't. I'm hoping it's coming soon. Thanks for all you do!

Yes please! This is very difficult for me. I organize them my docs into folders but then they all get flattened in the "all" view.

Arranging the papers in folders When you can not even see the parent folders and subfolders at a glance, it is very difficult to work with PAPER, especially when the number of folders increases. This is a critical feature that makes you leave the software or use it less, despite its other good features.

I absolutely hear you all with this request. And I miss it too. In the meantime,  the way that I work around this is by using the Dropbox App (both on Desktop and Mobile) as the interface to paper. I go to any folder and create Paper docs from there, as well as navigate through the app to open them. 

 

Are any of you using it this way? I find that it helps me a lot...
