Accessing .paper files from desktop app (Windows and Linux)

I have dropbox installed on both my Windows PC as well as on my Linux notebook. I am looking for the .paper files but cannot seem to find them anywhere. The only place I can access them is through the browser or on the mobile app.

 

Can I access them through my file system?  

  • Hey avstudio1! Hope you’re doing well. 

     

    Since you’re using a Windows device, you may be able to use the Dropbox Paper desktop app on it, to access your Paper docs locally (this isn’t possible on Linux devices, for the time being at least). However, as mentioned here, this is currently in beta, so the app isn’t available to everyone yet. 

     

    Let me know, if you need something else though.
