Why does the Paper app use 1.64GB on my iPhone? Can I reduce the amount of space it's allowed?

Why does the Paper app use 1.64GB on my iPhone? Can I reduce the amount of space it's allowed?

Hi there good people,

 

I love the Paper app! However, I am much less thrilled by how much space it takes up on my iPhone.

 

Currently, the iOs Paper App is using 1.64GB of precious space and I'm wondering:

 

  1. What is the purpose of using this significant amount of space? I'm confused because I thought Paper docs are stored on the cloud and not my device -- but this makes me think otherwise.
  2. How can I reduce the amount of space Paper is currently using on my iPhone?
  3. Can I change the amount of space Paper is allowed to take up on my phone to make sure in the future it doesn't do this again?

Thank you!

Hi @samson88, let's dive into this! 

 

Which version of the Paper app, is currently installed to your device? Also, do you have a plethora of Paper docs in your account? 

 

Feel free to let me know the OS installed to your device, and send me some screenshots too. 

 

Keep me posted.
