You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

I exported my Paper docs and all image links give "access denied" error
I exported all my Paper docs for safe keeping. Dropbox Paper sent me a .zip file with all the docs, organized in folders by creator email. That's fine.
Except...
Every image URL to the CloudFront CDN is restricted.
For example - here is some markdown with a link to an image:
![eBike classes explained in a simple table.](https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_84F8D7_MORE_CHARS_352_ebike+classes.jpg)
When I edit the markdown, the image cannot be previewed. When I open the image URL, CloudFront kindly tells me access is denied:
<Error>
<Code> AccessDenied </Code>
<Message> Access Denied </Message>
<RequestId> EFQ3KJXP3C9E753Q </RequestId>

</HostId>
</Error>
Note: I shortened the example link, because the forum truncates it. Export a page and you can see for yourself.
So my question -- how do we export our images?
I asked support about this, and I was simply redirected to ask the Community. 😥
