Dropbox paper connected to folder
Just tried Paper first time today, pretty cool function and rather needed from a competitive view.
Rather quickly though, I realized that I would have wanted to have the Paper directly connected to a shared/specific folder, and preferably even as a "visible document" in that actual folder. Perhaps I missed something, because I couldn't find any way to connect the two. Paper seemed to have only it's own set of folders, separated from the original ones.
My humble two cents and a cup of tea.

Yup, lovely as it is, it's a complete waste of time for these two reasons:
1. If it's not syncing directly to part of my dropbox tree, I can't edit or use other tools to work with it.
2. Other tools are better at this kind of document editing. Dropbox has excelled at being a storage provider, but this platform completely ignores what *made* dropbox a success in the first place.
3. A proprietary storage space, and I suspect a proprietary document format, means another useless dead-end silo
4. If I can't round-trip documents elsewhere, you're treating me as a product, not a customer.
I can't get over Paper. The more you look at it, the less sense it makes.

I just posted the same comment above before reading this. I agree completely.
A temporary work around is to create .webloc files and organize them through that.
Not great but works if you have alot of paper docs.

Paper really does need a linking function for folders or individual files. Even something clustered together in a special application folder would be helpful.
I am a heavy Evernote users and this would be similar to the attachments Evernote supports, only provide would also have direct access to the linked folder / document in addition to via the note.
