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

Can I export my Dropbox Paper docs as PDF?
Currently beta-testing dropbox paper. The application integrated some of nice features from Hackpad (e.g. insert table), but still lacked insert link function. Will this be added in the future? Pdf export is also desired.

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?

"Your browser cannot access the clipboard, so use these shortcuts instead" just occured in Chrome.
The error message just occured when I switched from IE to Chrome. I can use the keyboard shortcuts but would prefer to use rt.-click. The fix displayed referred to Preview which I cannot find. Thanks

Dropbox Paper error: www.dropbox.com refused to connect.
MacBook 14.9 OS: Sonoma 14.4 Hi, I need some advice: When transferring video/audio clips from desktop to a dropbox paper document, the files will transfer over but there wont play, error appears "www.dropbox.com refused to connect" see screen shot. This was working fine last week, however it potentially stopped working after my MacBook upgrade to Sonoma 14.4. This happens on chrome, chrome is running the latest update, has been reset and checked for anything blocking it, cache has also been cleared (set to all time). Safari wont let me access dropbox, I sign in using my credentials, it appears to load and then it goes back to the signing in screen again. Firefox has also been tried and that states that app cant support dropbox and has limited functionality. This always worked on chrome with no issues and it has stopped for some reason. Could please a list of troubleshooting actions please. I checked previous post on here
