Using the
Insert from
Dropbox option
with several items can help
you create an impressive
document, filled with text from
Word documents, images
and even video footage. The
content placeholders can be
edited to drop the items into
better positions, simply by
clicking and reordering them.
STEP Clicking on the first icon, Image, allows you to
upload an image from your computer or device.
The second option, Insert from Dropbox is a
little more interesting. With it, you’re able to pull out any of your
other Dropbox content into the newly created Paper document.
STEP When you’re happy with the Paper content, you
can click the three full-stops icon, next to the
Share button, in the top right of the screen.
From there you can Download the Paper as a Word document
or click Present to view it in a separate browser tab without the
Dropbox UI.
STEP When you’ve created your Paper, you can
click on the Share button and add the email
addresses for those with whom you wish to
share the content. You can also add it to a new folder, although
at present you’re not able to save a Paper document to Team
Folders; but you can download and reupload to a Team Folder. STEP With Paper, you can also embed video into the
document you’re working on. For example, to
add new content locate a YouTube video. Then,
next to the plus sign, right-click and select Copy Video URL;
back in Paper paste the link next to the plus sign. The video is
now embedded into the Paper document. STEP You can create separate folders within
Dropbox Paper, to store any Paper content you
want to share with others. Click on the Folders
link to the side, followed by Create New Folder, or any of the
options below the button. STEP How to Use Dropbox Paper
