Having been an advocate of Dropbox since 2010 and persuaded many companies to migrate/start using Dropbox, it makes me sad to see such a seemingly trivial issue destroy the reputation.

 

To be clear: the issue is not being on an older version of Paper, the issue is the collaboration between users with different versions. This has led to a lot of frustration and even more time wasted.

 

Please at least communicate clearly on the progress. Thank you.

End of June 2022 and still nothing for Dropbox Paper legacy users.

Is there a management issue at Dropbox?

Quick update while I'm in the neighborhood, in case anyone at Dropbox ever sees this, I'm talking my company out of switching from Box to Dropbox because of the lack of long-term support for the product. Dropbox is by far the more user-friendly service for now, but if features as big as Paper get quietly orphaned like this, an Enterprise account seems like a real risk.

 

Best,

Elliott

When will 2020 Paper features be rolled out to long-time users?

Just trying to get a structured answer (again).

 

Thanks,

Nobody has any clue I'm afraid - there is (as always) total radio silence from Dropbox on this

@YogY , Dropbox does not announce specific timelines for product improvements like this and previous communications indicate that they have no concrete plans to roll out the current version to legacy users.

Actually in early 2020 they did say that existing users would be migrated as soon as they could, and that nobody would be left on the old paper. I wonder if anyone had been migrated. Or whether it’s just new users who get it.

@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.
