Re: Dropbox Paper on Android is out of date, and can't be installed on current Android versions.

Hey bengal_puppy​, just jumping in for a second. The Dropbox app immediately launching when you load a paper link on web will depend on how you're launching the link.

I have an Android phone as well and just tested this out. 

When clicking a Dropbox Paper link directly from Gmail, it will force the Dropbox App to open. 

But when copying and pasting the Dropbox Paper link directly into a browser address bar (Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet) you'll be able to edit it right there in the browser. 

Try it that way and see if you have success.
