Dropbox Paper leave a shared document or folder
I am having a problem, I read an article about how to manage projects using paper, the article had a link to a sample Paper Document, I clicked on it and I was added to the Document list of people wh...

Hi -- I don't find that this solution answers my question. I share Dropbox Paper notes with many other people at work. When people leave a training session, they are annoyed by the many shared documents -- but when they archive them, they are archived for me, too, and I still need them. How can I keep them as normal and have that person remove *themselves* from the shared document so they don't clutter the other person's Paper workspace?

Hi there,
it´s now 2020 and I have completly the same problem. Clicked on an old Paper Dokument link to see if there are still important infos for me. After that I wanted to delete it from my list or leave it, so that I don´t have to see it in my list anymore. The answers are still the same like here. "Ask the owner to kick you out or "archive" it. Archiving doesn´t help, it just keeps being there. Absolutly useless and bad experience. I feel the same. I also will never click anymore on a paper dokument and I´m also thinking to leave Dropbox completly and go with another cloud system as I feel they are cutting my freedoms here. 2 years later and no solution. :D That´s insane. I think if the owner changed his email address or just don´t answer, you will be aaaaaaalways in that paper dokument. And yes. I also got pre prepared mails and stuff where they are ass friendly and talk about god and the world but the problem is still there. Also 2 years after.
Very satisfying.
Regards, the guy who´s stuck forever in a paper dokument. :)

Double that.
This Issue and the fact that Dropbox and Papers Folder structures are seperated.
And just to steal a march on the incoming auto-reply: Any hints to the „share idea“-Thread is unnecessary. This issues are years old, people are craving and tons of pro-users don't use paper because of these two inconsistent elements.
I would never cancel my pro-account because dropbox has become essential for my daily life.
But no development on years old features, that seem to make a difference for a huge part of the community. And to be honest: this massive amount of just a few but heavily used textexpander-like sentences from the team - premade standard auto-replys – feel like an insult to any paying client .
Best regards

Can we please get a definitive answer to this problem. What's the plan of the Dropbox Team? if you are no longer interested in supporting the product then it's better to be upfront with users and let them know before they invest more time in it and add more documents which would make the migration more difficult down the line.
Can you please be a little more transparent / responsible?Thank you
