Are "Team Paper Docs" related to the new release of Dropbox Paper?
Hello! Long, long time Dropbox user, first time community poster. We noticed that a new "Team Paper Docs" folder appeared at the top level of our Dropbox team folder, in the middle of the night when ...

Hey Agility-LA! Thanks for posting this on our forum and welcome aboard.
It sounds like this is a result of your Dropbox team migrating over to the new release of Dropbox Paper indeed.
Paper documents that teams generally own are being moved inside the “Team Paper Docs" folder and from there, they can be moved to other locations on your Dropbox account (you can also see info on this here).
I hope this helps, but I'll be here for anything else.

Thank you, Nancy! I hadn't really followed the Paper/Paper2020 updates over the years so this was all news to me this morning. Good to know it's normal behavior and nothing to worry about.
I hope you have a great week!

Hi, So how do we get rid of this new folder we don't want? It looks like 4 other documents were shared to someone at the same time, from my assistant's account, and we can't get rid of this folder - it says we have no admin control.

As an Admin I can't move or create new folders under the "Team Paper Docs" in our Dropbox account. I am so fed up! We just got switched to the new version last night and no Paper is completely and utterly useless. They've completely bricked this product for us. It was PERFECT, no other software or website does what Paper does (or did) and now its terrible!
