Dropbox Paper Doc url keeps redirecting to a video on the page
I have a dropbox paper doc (which I can't share for confidentiality reasons), and every time I try to access it, the url redirects to a video which is embedded in the page.
This happens after 1...
Thank you for your patience in this matter. The Product team has informed us that this issue has been resolved, and you should no long experience this when using Dropbox Paper.
I am also having the same issue. Is there any update on this issue?

Dropbox StaffHi all, and sorry to jump in here.
In order to isolate this further, can you let me know if this is happening for all Paper docs that have embedded videos/audio in general, or if there are docs that seem to be opening normally?
Also, is it possible for someone to attach an example recording replicating the issue? You can create a test doc, if you prefer, so that there’s no personal data included.
I also tried to test this on my end, but Paper seemed to be working normally.
Thanks in advance!
Here is me opening a test file that has a video. You can see it automatically opens the video after briefly showing the paper doc.
This also occurs right as you put any video in a working document.

It's happening across multiple documents too. Not restricted to one or two.
This is happening for us as well. I tried uploading a new video, and the same things happens. The only fix is to delete the video entirely. Which isn't really a solution, because I'd like to include the video in the doc.
I've confirmed the same thing is happening with any Paper doc that includes an embedded audio file as well. It's happening in Chrome and Safari.
Checked on the mobile app and it seems to be fine. This is is only happening on Desktop/Web for me.
Nancy Any word on this? It is still occurring in every document that contains an embedded link.
Also seeing this behavior today
A temporary workaround: hitting the Stop button in your browser before the page finishes loading seems to prevent the redirect, hopefully giving you access to non-video stuff until this gets fixed
Ah yes - Esc key during pageload works fine as a temporary workaround..! Many thanks 💕
