I've lost my Dropbox Paper documents, how can I get them back?

This is also happening to me. DB paper home page only shows the paper I made today, and my 100+ other docs are missing unless I search.

Hi adam1111 

I wish more people come with the same story so the dropbox team start to move theyr asses and help us with our lost data. I am in touch with some random people from dropbox but they ask me the same nonsence all around. They lost a very important materials and data for my work. 

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?

Hi Nancy 

no i dont have your app and after you find my data i will migrate everything from dropbox to google. I tried everything before i started this never ending chat here. FIND MY DATA!

Big paper update!

The new dropbox paper app-update landed and now i can say you lost all my files! Last time I had 10 - 15 files from my 80 plus (no one is counting something that should be safe) and now i can see 2 of them. I tried to use the search all thi tricks. Its gone!

NancyI NEED A PROFESIONAL UPDATE FROM YOUR EMPLOYER ASAP! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR SERVICES???

NEED MY DATA BACK ASAP

Figured this out. Dropbox migrated all the old paper documents to a dropbox folder called "Migrated Paper Docs" and gave everything the extension ".paper"

So, you can search ".paper" and everything will come up.

So find this "Migrated Paper Docs" folder, go here:
https://www.dropbox.com/home

Look thru the left side for a folder called "Migrated Paper Docs". They're all in there now!
https://www.dropbox.com/home/Migrated%20Paper%20Docs?di=left_nav_browse

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!

hi adam1111 

this was actually the first helfull information over the last 2 months. i found lot of them but even now i still miss a bigger amount of my projects - paper files. actually the most important onces...

Here we go! More than 3 months after DROPBOX lost my data, which was so important for my small business, nothing changed. No information, no help, just generic replies always from a different person, and they always ask the same **bleep**.

I need advice. I need some help here from the community. I had most of my price offers, deals and other information in my lost Dropbox Paper documents and this **bleep**ers lost them!

:(
Sorry you are still having issues, do you have any ticket numbers at all?

Hey ROBERT369, sorry to hear about this situation.

Have you reached out to the new admin of the Paper docs by any chance?
