Hey man-u-l, 
 
Glad to help figure out a solution to this. 
 
Just keep in mind that you can Archive or Restore a Paper document, if you have Owner or Editor access. On the other hand, because only the owner of the Paper document can remove users or Permanently delete the document, I ‘d suggest reaching out to them, so that they remove you from it, if you you don’t want to sync it to your account. 
 
I’d like to point out though that, as for the time being, Paper documents don’t take up any space on your account, so you can have as many as you like, without worrying about any space issues. 
 
If you need more details about it, just let me know here. 
 
Cheers,

I'm facing the same issue as many others, where I'm unable to remove myself from documents I have viewed. I should not have to contact the document owner to remove me, I should be able to just remove myself. I have a paid subscription with dropbox for more than 2 years now. If this issue does not get solved and I continue to see poorly support that dropbox gives I'll definetly cancel my subscription and move to some other cloud storage provider.

    Amazingly this is the very reason I no longer pay Dropbox for a premium account and NO longer use Paper. If a company cannot resolve something so simple and dont want to lissen to their paying users then I dont want to be associated with them.
