Anyone else had Dropbox paper go weird on them? Logged in and suddenly all the folder system and gone, I had no files showing on the main tab - and all paper files have been migrated into a documen...

3 years agoHey SirLothar, if you use the search bar in your "all files" page to search for your Paper docs, does it work?

Yes - it finds them but the whole directory structure / interface is completely messed up making it a real pain to navigate or even create a folder.
My workflow is now reduced to:
- Go to paper.dropbox.com (only shows a few recently opened .paper documents - and not the 100's I had before). Empty grey menu bar on the left
- I click the grid icon in the top left, scroll all the way down and click "paper" which just brings me to the same page
- I click on one of the recent .paper files that appears (despite not wanting to open that one) and then it opens the document with 3 folders on the left. (see attached) with all my files randomly distributed in a single "migrated paper docs" folder. No way of creating any new folders. In fact... you can't even resize the window pane to fit the full length of the folder name text into it (Mac Safari)
This is either a bug in "migration" (again why is it 2023 and I've now been moved to some random 2020 migration?) or some VERY BAD design choices which have ruined it for me and makes me want to migrate to something else.
