How secure is Paper?
Anyone that has my url can view my notes without any credential....
If someone takes a picture of my screen or anotate my url can acesss my notes directly in any computer and all the links that it contains.
Is there any way to block my notes to avoid this?
thanks
Someone from the drobox support explained me that you need to specify that only people invited to this doc can view the link, on the document sharing properties; this blocks the default behavior of leaving the link accessible by anyone with it.
This works but is annoying since you need to specify this in all documents that you create.
Ideally, the system should have an option to set this as the default behavior to all documents or something in this line.

Anybody with the link cannot view it. Only people authorised to view it can.
Remember though that if you view the link on a device you've Dropbox installed on you are automatically logged in and so it will open - as it knows its you.
To test it put the link through a device without Dropbox installed at all.OK
I was able to open a link to my paper inside a virtual machine where I don’t have dropbox installed and was not logged in, but as you have said dropbox knows that is the same computer...
Thanks
Hello, could you do a test...
Try to open this link:
https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/donotopen-yrBVHQJq2S7jQDx2qBaC9
If what you said is truth, you should not be able to open it...
But looks like this link is acessible for everyone with it!!!!! I testd using a proxy...

I stand corrected, something has changed and it is saying I can access it BUT I need an account to view the document and you are informed that I am viewing it.
I'm going to do some digging....
