Hi nginear; thanks for joining the discussion here and welcome to our Community!
From what I gather, the issue you are experiencing is no one is able to view all the media on the Paper doc you've created and shared via a link. The full contents of the Paper doc are available only when the user is logged into Dropbox.
According to our devs, this is actually intended behavior. I understand this is probably not what you were expecting.
That being said, I do understand how it would be beneficial to be able to share the link to a Paper doc and allow all people with the link to view the Paper doc as you've created it. However, the content will not have any issue if viewing from a signed-in state. The person you send this to will need to sign into Dropbox, or you can export the document as a .pdf or .doc and send the export instead.
I hope this clears things up a tad and I'm always around if you have any questions.

Could you first walk me through the steps you took to do this and forward me a screenshot of the exact error message they get?
Also, is this affecting a specific Paper doc of yours, some or all?
Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there. Thank you!
