Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
I have a Paper doc that I created a couple of months ago, and at the time I added some links to various websites. These links gave me the option of creating a preview of the site, so I added those. Now, for some reason, when I add new links I don't get any such option and I cannot figure out why. Is this broken? Was it a temporary feature? Is there any way to troubleshoot? I've been been searching and I cannot find any information on this (except very old posts from users compaining about the opposite - they don't want the previews...).
Can anyone help? Is this dependent on my browser? OS? 😕
Hi @pgoodall, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
In general, the feature to show a preview of any site is no longer available.
There are certain site that embed media into Paper, such as YouTube links, which would show the thumbnail of the video, and be a clickable media.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Thanks, Jay. That's really unfortunate, as I really liked that feature. It must have just been removed, as I only created the doc 72 days ago.
I understand your frustration with link previews in Dropbox Paper. Here’s what you can try:
I hope this helps!
