    Thanks for checking in. We'll make sure we don't leave a gap in coverage. If we do have to extend the migration timeline, we won't cut off the legacy Paper API.

     

    We may in fact be updating that timeline soon, but I can't offer specifics or an official update right now.

This is an absolute joke. We have half our team on the 2020, the other half on the old version, and it is a huge annoyance. I would expect that a company like Dropbox has a product manager for paper that is aware of that annoyance without forum moderators passing it along. How can Dropbox behave so unprofessionally? It is Q3 2021, you are almost 2 years behind without a piep on when paying customers can expect this to be fixed.

    +1 I've also been waiting for this migration to happen for a long time, and I'm quite frustrated that I still haven't been migrated.

    If I delete my account, can I register again with the same email? I understand new users get the 2020 version of Paper so if that's all it takes, I'm willing to play a bit of back and forth with my files and docs to finally get the proper version.

    endreymarcell Thanks for the feedback! And yes, deleting an account does free up the email address on it.

    It is hard not to feel that the credibility of the product and its maker is severely hurt by this..
