Hi, 

I don't understand how I can create a MarkDown file on my computer and then upload it to Dropbox Paper for further edits. 
Is this at all possible?

 

This part of the question was not answered in the approved answer.

 

Best regards,

Indeed, it seems weird to allow export in markdown but not import from markdown. That would increase the usefulness of Paper enormously.
