How can I remove a user from a Paper document that I shared with them via link?
Hello, I've a personal Dropbox account. I shared the link to someone. He opened it in his work account, instead of his personal account. Now the paper shows his work account as 'opened'. How to remove that? He doesn't want other people who is viewing the Paper to notice his work email address. Please help me.

Cannot see shared Dropbox paper documents on Dropbox Paper webpage
Dear Community, Some other guys shared some Dropbox Paper folders with me. I could enter the folder and edit the Paper files through 'notifications' on the upper right of the Dropbox webpage. However, if I go to my Dropbox Paper webpage, I could not see any of the shared Paper files. This seems to happen for my account because when I change a computer or change a browser, I still cannot see the files. But for the other people sharing the folders, they could see the files on their webpage and directly enter it. This is a bit of a problem because if I want to find a file that was shared to me a long time ago, it is difficult to find it through 'notifications', so I wonder how could I fix this problem. Many thanks!!!

Can't create a paper file from dropbox.com
Hi all, I'm an happy user of dropbox paper but I still can't create paper files from within my dropbox.com web space. Do any of you have the same problem? As a workaround I currently create new paper docs by copying existing projects. This approach works but I still need to delete / substitute all the content imported from the original file. Help would be appreciated 🙂 Thanks! F

Dropbox paper kanban view
It would be really amazing to be able to use Dropbox Paper as more of a planning tool in 2023. Our needs are relatively simple. The timeline view is nice but it leaves much to be desired. Most notably, there are no basic kanban features. This really should be an alternate view for the timeline. Key to a kanban is tags. In order for this feature to work well, you would need to be able to add tags to each item in the paper timeline. Right now you can write a description, pick a color, assign it to individuals, and check it off as done--not the same as moving it along a kanban board. While it would be nice to be able to do even more dynamic work with this feature, like with Notion, it's better to start with this baby step. Right now that's the only thing we do on Notion that we can't do with Paper.

Is Dropbox Paper dead in the water?
Hi everyone, I really like how Dropbox Paper works and I would love to move all my work from other alternatives to work only in Paper. But I'm a bit worried that Dropbox ignores Paper at this point and don't improve it. The last "news" to Paper was on March 5 which is a very long time ago. And I don't want to work in a tool that the developers doesn't want to improve. Anyone know how the development around Paper will be going forward? Thanks and have a nice day all.

"Failed to load Dropbox Embed..." when other users are viewing the videos on my Paper doc
Hi all, I created a document with 3 videos, all of which total 10 minutes. When I share this document others get this message: "FAILED TO LOAD DROPBOX..." I'm able to view the videos w/o any issues. I received the videos from another dropbox user. She shared them with me for the purpose of me using them and distributing them, so there aren't any restrictions with the videos. When the ppl I share the videos with click on the videos they get this message: Like I said, I put no restrictions on viewing these videos. Each person I send this to has to request access separately for each video, wait for me to respond then go back and view it. This is obviously not ideal when you're trying to get ppl to read a persuasive doc... I've tried contacting Dropbox support on 3 different occasions over the past 3 weeks with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! (Also, I have "Dropbox Plus" membership, so I've paid $119 - not happy about I'm getting for the money I've spent...) Thank you
