adam1111, I’d like you to try something else as a test. If you have the Dropbox mobile app installed on your device, please search for one of the Paper docs you’re missing; are you seeing its current filepath in the results? 

If you do, please tap on the ellipsis icon with the three dots next to it and choose the option “Show in folder”. Can you see the rest of your missing files then, including that one?
