In interner explorer: i open a file it askes me to if i want to open in the app. If i do that, it opens in the browser and i can read but not edit.
In the chrome browser same. In the dropbox paper app it is still blocked with permission fault.

HI Rianneluiten, what browser are you using on your mobile device?
Could you try using a different browser to see if this helps?

Hello, yes i am logged in on both devices. I received an emaik from dropbox that paper app will stop and function will no longer be in use. But that you coukd use droobox paper in the browser. That does not work for me either. Also making new documents does not work.

Hey Rianneluiten, thanks for the update on this and apologies for the delay.
Would you mind confirming that both your devices are logged in on the same Dropbox account?
Please don't post your email address, we just need to be positively sure about the above.

Hi from me too, Rianneluiten! Hope you don’t mind me jumping in.
The issue you describe could be potentially related to the upcoming deprecation of the mobile/desktop Paper app. As a result, after the 10/09, your mobile Paper app will no longer be updated; all of your Paper docs can be directly accessed via the Dropbox website, though.
If you try to reinstall your Dropbox Paper app once again now and restart your device, do you still receive the same error after that, or is the issue fixed (without having to open your Paper docs via the web browser first)?
