I can't edit my Paper docs on the Android app after the migration

After the last changing on the Dropbox paper App I can no more continue to work with my files on the phone .

I want to migrate the files to an other App . When I open them in the Dropbox folder of migrated files it's impossible to open them . They say you can open the files only from a computer .

I need to use the files on android. 

Is that a possibility to convert them on MD or txt or word files?

I feel it's not fair enough to block the files .

    Hi kouty, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Just for clarification, are you not able to open them at all in the Paper app?

    Are you able to locate them there to open them?

    Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

    In the past there was options in the double lozenge in the left up corner {All, Folders, Documents}. They disappeared . I can see only few recent docs . And I cannot open them. I understand that recent changes damaged a lot the App .

    Thanks for the info. In order to look into this matter in more detail, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to investigate further.
