Timeline for Paper 2020 migration

Timeline for Paper 2020 migration

Hello, according to the following migration guide, the classical Dropbox Paper endpoints will stop working this month:
https://www.dropbox.com/lp/developers/reference/paper-migration-guide

 

However, according to this FAQ page, it says that Paper 2020 will be rolled out to users over the next following months:

https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/paper/paper-2020-faqs

My question is: is there a chance that there will be a gap in coverage, where some users are not migrated to Paper 2020, yet their API stops working? How many months would the migration take?

We have some customers which use Dropbox Paper, but we currently only support the Paper 2020 version, since it didn't make sense to invest time to build over the deprecated API. They keep on asking for support for Dropbox Paper, and we keep telling them "soon 🙂 ".

It would help to know if you're currently expecting to do the bulk of migration this month, or if there could be multiple month delay, but I know future timeline is hard to predict 😉 so I wouldn't ask for exact timeline of the migration, just any best guess you might have.

We're still waiting as well.  They don't appear to have a solution to the problem of migrating between the old and new versions, and I'm not confident that it is a priority at all.

Need more support?
