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?

Hey all, wondering if there is currently a way, or one on the horizon, where I can use a single Dropbox folder to house both static docs (PDFs, Word, Excel) along with Paper docs. Would be incredible / revolutionize everything if we'd be able to save them to a single folder.

Hey theshanklin welcome to the Community! :slight_smile:

 

Please keep in mind that Dropbox and Paper are separate systems at the moment, so it’s not possible to save Paper docs within your file structure. This is also why Paper docs are kept separately from your Dropbox files, and why Paper has its own app of mobile devices.
 
It's also not currently possible to create or access Paper doc within your Dropbox folder structure. 
 
However, you can always create Paper folders for organizational purposes: Dropbox Paper Folders 
 
Hope this helps, and let me know if there’s anything else you need assistance with or if you have any further questions. Thanks and have a happy Friday!

PS. I'm more than happy to forward this question over to our Paper developers as feedback for future consideration.
