    Hello neosmile. 

    Thank you for your interest in Paper 2020 :heart_eyes:. 

    Currently, the Paper 2020 release is available to new users only. Our team is currently in the works of a new feature in order to build the best Paper experience for all our users. Old and new. 

    You will hear more about this feature and your Paper docs will live in the Dropbox filesystem, when the development is finalised. 
     
    What I did -because I honestly couldn't wait- is this: I created a new Dropbox account and shared my old Paper docs to it. 
     
    Notes:pushpin:
    • "Old" Paper docs shared with Paper 2020 release users will be available in their Dropbox home and will show in Recents. 
    • Paper 2020 release docs shared with Legacy users will be available on their Dropbox home, but not in Paper. 

    :books:

    Here is a help center article with all the information you need. 

    Feel free to ask more questions. 

    Cheers!

aggalix , They said they intended to, but they've since gone silent and updates don't contain timelines, meaning they haven't actually planned to do so.

The paper API depreciation date has been extended about 5 times so far, the latest update pushes it from Q2 2022 (obviously not met) to End of 2022. I would say that is some kind of news, but that date has been pushed back so many times that I wouldn’t count on any date, even if by some miracle all of us dedicated early adopters actually got an official date from ANYONE at Dropbox.

    Elliott C.1 Yeah, it’s nuts! I forgot to emote my unhappiness and frustration about the silence and lack of progress this time. Hehehe. 😛

    Speaking to customer support has been pretty fruitless. Nobody’s empowered to say anything except regurgitate the authorized scripts.

    i suspect the real answer is “there’s no money in this so we’ve abandoned the idea of migrating people – but we’re going to be dishonourable because we fear that this information could affect our financial value.”.

    But good news… one of us could apply for this job… And actually finish what they committed to two years ago.

    All I want is to store my project notes in the same folder as the project, instead of using the old filing system which feels like it’s designed by an 8 year old with a very simple life! 😂
