What is a PAPERT file?

A PAPERT file is a template for a .PAPER document created by Dropbox Paper, an online document-editing collaboration tool. It contains information about all elements included in the template, such as formatted text, lists, tables, charts, interactive forms, and imported images, videos, and songs.

Dropbox introduced Paper 2017 as a free tool for Dropbox users to collaborate with others in an online workspace where they can create, review, revise, organize, and present ideas. While PAPERT templates store contents in the same format as PAPER documents, Paper users create and share the templates to preserve the formatting and content of a document they wish to replicate. Users can create a PAPERT template from a PAPER document by opening the document, clicking the (ellipses) icon, and selecting Templatize.

Like PAPER files, Paper only uses PAPERT files internally, meaning you cannot download PAPERT files from the online workspace. However, you can share a link to download a .URL shortcut to the PAPERT file, which you can double-click to open in the Paper workspace. The file will appear with an underscore preceding the template name followed by the .papert.url extension (e.g., _template.papert.url).

How to open a PAPERT file

You can open PAPERT files with Dropbox Paper in a web browser or the Dropbox Paper (Android) and Paper by Dropbox (iOS) mobile apps. Since Paper only uses PAPERT files internally, no third-party apps support them.

All PAPER documents are accessible from the Paper Home screen, and you can click them to open them. You may also find them in your Dropbox folder if you have the Dropbox desktop app installed, but when you double-click the PAPERT files, they will open in the Paper workspace in your web browser.

How to convert a PAPERT file

Dropbox Paper can convert PAPERT templates to several file types, including the following formats:

  • .DOCX - Microsoft Word Document
  • .PDF - Portable Document Format
  • .MD - Markdown Documentation

You can convert PAPER files by clicking the menu (three horizontal dots) in the upper-right corner of the workspace and then selecting Export.
