First time using paper, images not showing with sharing link
Hi, I was a user of hackpad, I love beacuse of its user experience for collaborative work. I tried paper and I honestly, deeply regret it. After working hours on articles, I share it to my peers r...
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.
(1) Not one, but all my paper documents.
(2) I click on sharing icon on the top right side of the screen and send them to my colleges.
(3) Those who click the button can see all the text but not the images nor the link thumbnails which are broken.
I tried myself in incognito mode and I experience the same thing. I can only see them through my account.

Thanks for the additional information noteimporta!
Could you also send me a screenshot of how this looks like for you and on of how it looks like for others so I can have a better look into this?
Thanks so much!
Since the paper contains sensitive information I cannot. The error is just the images and thumbails NOT showing, like the url/hosting is broken.

I see; thanks for pointing this out noteimporta.
Would you like me to reach out via your Dropbox email address to have a further look internally?
