69 TopicsText highlighting not visible when exporting to Word
When I highlight text in a Paper document in my browser and then export it to MS Word, the highlighting gets lost. Bold, italics, underlined instead are all working as expected and are retained. I tried a few tips, but none of them worked: - copying text from the browser and pasting into the Word doc directly - using incognito mode - viewing the Word document online or in the desktop app makes no difference either - exporting to pdf first and then converting to Word doc (pdf has highlights but they get misplaced when converting to Word) Devices: Macbook Air (M4), Sequoia 26.2, tried both on Firefox(146.0.1) and Safari(Version 26.2 (21623.1.14.11.9)). Dropbox Version is 239.3.8100 but as I use the browser it might not matter.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to use Paper for my RPG game night prep, but am having difficulty printing off my notes, since Paper doesn't show page breaks. Is there a way to enable Word-style pages so I can make sure content fits cleanly on the page?46Views0likes3CommentsDropbox Paper images aren't loaded on the web

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!

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.

Hello! Long, long time Dropbox user, first time community poster. We noticed that a new "Team Paper Docs" folder appeared at the top level of our Dropbox team folder, in the middle of the night when nobody works. Looking at the forum, I'm guessing it's similar to the people who have seen "Migrated Paper Docs" folders appearing (like this post: https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101001017/unknown-folder-appearing-migrated-paper-docs/805075). None of our team uses Paper, but it's possible someone added a Paper file to a particular client folder in 2020/2021 but since deleted it. (the one folder inside "Team Paper Docs" DOES correlate to a project folder) In short, if this folder appearance is part of the long-standing Paper2020 update I've read about and this is normal, I would just like to confirm! While I'm not opposed to account password updates, I just want to ensure this isn't likely the result of a user's account being compromised or something. Thank you!Solved1.1KViews0likes7CommentsExport screen keeps getting stuck
Suddenly I can no longer Export my DropBox files to any format: Markdown, PDF, etc. Every time I try to export, I keep getting stuck on the screen with the little wizard that says "Waiting to start..." but my file never actually exports. I've had this issue for about a week now, and other coworkers on my team have as well.Solved303Views0likes12CommentsOpening a Dropbox Paper file fails with 500 error

Been using Paper for years and loved using it, until Dropbox started 'developing' it and making it worse. Using it less and less now and (reluctantly) back to Google Workspace. Next step is to close my Dropbox annual subscription. Same thing happened with Evernote. It's a train wreck and I've deleted it and thousands of notes over last 15 years234Views0likes7Comments
