    Hey tamarawill24, thanks for your post about Dropbox Paper!

    At the moment, with the way Paper works, the URLs will appear as hyperlinks with previews of the linked site.

    However, you're welcome to post an idea about this on our Paper idea board, for other users to upvote.

I found out one way. You may put your link inside a code block (whether in-line or paragraph). You can do so with two ` www.your_link.com ` for in-line or ``` www.your_link.com ``` for paragraph format. For example:

 

www.your_link.com

 Hope this is helpful
