Paper API - Create Paper Document

So I've found your API for Paper, however it doesn't include the ability to create paper document. Specifically with content in it. 

 

I have a separate question/request around templates (https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-Paper/Customize-quot-Create-meeting-doc-quot-or-Custom-Templates/m-p/200016).

 

If we could have an API for creating documents with content in them, we could solve this problem ourselves, but unless I'm misssing it, I can't see anywhere in the API to create a Paper document.

  • Thanks for the post! That's correct, the Paper API doesn't offer a way to create/upload documents.

    I can't make any promises, but I'm sending this along as a feature request.

      It'd really help. I'm an evernote user who wants to migrate everything to DropBox and Paper as it seems to be the right fit.

      As I'm trying not to lose everything I've saved in my Evernote. That API would really help ;)
