Integrating Dropbox Paper with Dropbox

Paper is a Dropbox product, but what's the relationship between Paper and Dropbox itself? We're here to tell you! Here are the basics... Can I access my Paper docs from Dropbox? You can...

Besides account authentication, Paper essentially acts as a separate service from Dropbox. Ultimately this is why our team is moving away from Paper. I'd like to see it actually integrated with Dropbox. We lose docs in Paper all the time as the filing system is not great.

  Indeed, not integrating Dropbox and paper is probably the most inane thing I can possibly think of vis-a-vis what doesn't work with this product. In an of themselves Dropbox and Paper are great, heck--Dropbox has no equal as far as I'm concerned... but not smoothly working together with Paper!?!? If you paid me and gave me a month to think about it I don't think I could come up with anything more worthy of a boob award than this failure from the developers. Otherwise, all aces!

My thoughts exactly. Seems like Paper would be a great integration; but not if I can't get to it from my dropbox account. I'm migrating everything out of paper.

  The integration is much tighter now with Paper 2020 paper docs live inside your dropbox folder and you can order them into subfolders etc. Finally it all makes sense : )

    lukeyo Paper 2020 isn't universal for all users, Dropbox in their wisdom, thought it would be better to rollout the upgrade to various users rather than a system wide upgrade. Dropbox even have allowed new customers access to te new software before existing customers. I just don't get their logic, and it certiainly isn't a customer first business model.
