You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

How can I disable Paper?
I signed up for Paper just to try it. My personal Dropbox Pro account became a Paper account and is no longer working the way I want it to (for example, camera uploads from a Nexus 6P no longer work).
I want to remove Paper and have my account just go back to being a normal personal Dropbox Pro account like it used to be. But I can't find any way to remove Paper from my account. "You can check in any time you want but you can never leave - The Eagles"
Hi chris-dura
Disabling Paper and exporting will not trigger file deletion. You can re-enable Paper and your documents will be there. I hope this helps!

That isnt Dropbox paper, thats because you've become part of a Team. Paper doesn't alter anything.
You need to leave the Team. See https://www.dropbox.com/help/9124

Thanks. I joined the Paper trial and set up the team at the same time - so got them mixed up as being integrated. Now I have left the team the Android app again offers to backup my photos automatically and all is now well. Thanks for setting me straight. I will now read more about how teams work and how they interact (or don't) with Paper.

No hassle :)
Paper is a totally independent product so it doesn't change/alter anything within Dropbox.
Mark Mc, you're a saint. Thanks!
Hello,
I want to batch export all my Team's Paper docs to Microsoft Word / Markdown docs as a backup/archive.
I've confirmed we're on "an old release" of Paper, so I'm following the appropriate "Export all docs" instructions here:
https://help.dropbox.com/security/admin-settings-business-teams#enable?fallback=true
However, my question is... after disabling Paper and exporting all the docs... I'll want to re-enable Paper so my Team can continue to use it and add new docs.I assume the Paper docs I just exported will *still* be there after re-enabling, and don't disappear after exporting or disabling Paper?
