Missing folders and Paper docs after migration
For many years I have used Dropbox paper.
Made hundreds of folders and papers.
Now I have only 10 or so in my migrated section.
First of all I had no idea something was about to happen.
Maybe I missed mails?
I have used paper recently without an issue or a notice that I should do something really quick!
Now I have no Idea where to find my files.
I have a folder 'Gemigreerde paper documenten' (Dutch) and there is not even 1% of my files.
We are working in a team and maybe a college did the migration and I can't see them now?
I find this update very disturbing!
So dropbox, how can I get them back?
Where are they?
Thanks!

Hello, I'm also impacted by this today. I just tried to access my docs on paper, and none of them are available on the site (paper.dropbox.com) or the Android app. I'm seeing them in a Migrated Paper Docs folder in the Dropbox account. I don't want to have to open dropbox just to edit a document. How do I get my documents back in Paper.dropbox.com. I didn't initiate any migration.

How do I get my documents back in Paper.dropbox.com (its not showing any of my paper docs). I didn't initiate any migration.
Megan I can confirm that creating a new document does allow me to export as any of the 3 options available. I was able to create a new document and export as a Word Document.
I'm still not able to export any of my original Paper documents. It still just sits on the "Export - Preparing files for export... 0 of 1" window
I'm still not seeing all of my documents in the new Paper.
Sure

I added some comments, I hope it's manageable.
I'm seeing the same issue. The missing docs are still there, but they don't appear in the "Migrated Paper docs" folder for some reason. Luckily for me I'd sent a co-worker a link, and using that link I was able to see the doc. It still doesn't appear when I browse the folder though. This migration mess has seriously shaken my confidence in the product.
