Hello everyone, I created a doc called "links". When I copy my links to doc, I want to see only URLs, not thumbnails. Is this possible?

403 error message - not giving me access to my own files (DropBox Paper)
Hi, I use DropBox Paper for everything, and it's pretty important to me. (Having made the change from GDocs a while ago). I just tried to access my stuff (please know that I only have a free account, but have not reached the 2Gig limit, because almost everything I do is just text: translation, writing essays, taking notes etc.) and it threw up a '403 message' time and time again, saying 'it seems [that] you don't belong here'. So, I logged out, tried logging back in again (it wouldn't let me). So, I reset that password, which seemed to work, but not really, because now I can't open any of my text documents. This is a serious issue (I rely on translation as my income stream and career), and I would please like your help to resolve it). Yours hopefully, Max.

Does anybody know how to scale an image inside a Dropbox Paper TABLE?
I placed a big image inside a table on Paper but can't find a way to scale it down. The image is large and I would like it to be way smaller. If I reduce the column size the image gets cropped. Any suggestions?

Dropbox Paper images aren't loaded on the web
Device Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2016 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 10 Dropbox App Version/Browser Version Chrome: Version 140.0.7339.185 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit) Edge: Version 140.0.3485.94 (Offizielles Build) (64-Bit) Description Many images (~30%) in my dropbox paper document are not loading anymore. It concernc various dropbox paper files. Even if I click on the link, they do not open anymore. I am sure all of these pictures were uploaded correctly! They are usually screenshots that I have copy + paced into the document. This is very frustrating and a very big issue. I would have thought dropbox paper is more reliable! Screenshots

Why can't I rename a file, or delete a folder in Paper?
I am so close to loving 'paper', but I have run into so many non-sensical issues (not bugs, just stuff that makes no sense) that I can't even consider showing this my team. 1) You really need to make it clear that "paper" and "dropbox" might as well be two different brands and companies that have very little in common. One kind of assumes, expects, that the "dropbox" part of the name would mean they get some of the benefits of Dropbox, but they don't. There is no sharing between "dropbox" and "paper', no offline editing, or syncing. I do not like Google Docs that much, but this small detail of having your files offline is why I, and many, I am sure, do use it. 2) I have a paper doc I created called "Untitled", and nowhere, on any page, is there an option to rename that document. How does one rename a paper file? 3) I made a folder under my paper HOME, and now I want to delete it. It is not shared with anyone and it is empty, but the only options I have for the folder is Rename, Move, Archive, from within the folder. From the parent page, there is no option for that folder at all, no "..." on the right side, nothing. So how do I delete that folder? 4) is there a way to get rid of "Recently viewed" as the default, and seemingly only, view of the files and folders. With "Recently viewed" there is no hierarchy between the files and the folder... just a long list of unrelated files and folders. It's chaotic and redundant. It is only good for when you are dealing with very few documents, so it is a good option, but nothing but unproductive when dealing with more than a few file and folders. Is there a way to enable a normal hierarchical file system view, like a typical file browser, especially considering I can't use my local file browser like I can with Dropbox? I really hope there are easy answers to these questions and/or Dropbox is planning on making the user experience more smooth and somewhat intuitive. Thanks

All Markdown exports of Paper docs no longer show images
Starting a few days ago, when you create a new document in Dropbox Paper and export it to Markdown, the images no longer appear. This happens because the images in the Markdown file are embedded using URLs that point to the domain paper-attachments.dropboxusercontent.com. The issue is that, as you can verify with any DNS checker (as shown below), there’s no longer an A record for that domain. As a result, all Markdown exports—both those created in the past and any new ones—will have broken image links. This is a serious bug for anyone using that feature. Device: Any Operating System/Browser (if using the web): Windows 11 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/140.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Dropbox App Version/Browser Version: Chrome Version 140.0.7339.210 (Official Build) (64-bit)
