You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Saving Paper docs to existing Dropbox folder structure/file-system.

Hi A number of us have started using dropbox paper at work. We want to save documents that we create in paper to an existing Team folder but I can't see how to do this. Any ideas anyone?

Hi Mikael, since Paper docs don’t have a specific format to them (unlike Word files which are docx), then they can’t ‘sync’ as such to your machine.
 
Since the folders in Dropbox are synced to your machine, it isn’t possible to have Paper docs there, since those files would never sync to the computer, and vice-versa.
 
Dropbox, where your files are stored, and Dropbox Paper should be seen as separate services, and can’t directly interact with each other like you wish them to. You can attach files from Dropbox into a Paper doc, and leave comments on those files which would appear in Dropbox, but this is the current extent of the link between the two.
 
Hope this helps to clarify matters!

I think you consider the way google docs & google drive do. The google docs synced on PC is a url for opening the docs in browser.
