Can the Dropbox Paper mobile app not be discontinued?

Don't delete the paper app I use it everyday and for multiple things ......if it has to go we need the ability to modify notes in the paper files on drop box .....at current I can't modify on a m9bile device and that completely removes the functionality of paper for me!

  • Hi ChrisMB​,

    Thank you for the feedback.

    I just wanted to comment here to let you know that while the Mobile App is being discontinued, you will still be able to access Paper on the browser of your mobile device.

    Hi '- -.4, you can access the browser version of Dropbox Paper at this link.

    You should be able to create and edit documents from there once you log in to your account.

    How do I access the browser version of a document on my Android? I use Dropbox Paper for one thing, my grocery list. How do I access it via browser? Do I create a share from Dropbox?

    ChrisMB​ When you say "can't access notes and modify them" what do you mean exactly? Because Dropbox Paper allows the ability to edit docs from the mobile browser version.

    I’m using the web version of Paper on my phone and so far liking it more than the app. (iPhone 16 Pro Max, Safari.) I used the “Add to Home Screen” option to make Paper’s own button.

    If anyone is interested, a feature I would love is a read-only mode. If I’m reading a Paper doc on my phone and touch the screen a bit too hard, it goes into Edit mode, which is distracting. Full-screen would be great, but may not be possible in a browser…
