    Hello neosmile. 

    Thank you for your interest in Paper 2020 :heart_eyes:. 

    Currently, the Paper 2020 release is available to new users only. Our team is currently in the works of a new feature in order to build the best Paper experience for all our users. Old and new. 

    You will hear more about this feature and your Paper docs will live in the Dropbox filesystem, when the development is finalised. 
     
    What I did -because I honestly couldn't wait- is this: I created a new Dropbox account and shared my old Paper docs to it. 
     
    Notes:pushpin:
    • "Old" Paper docs shared with Paper 2020 release users will be available in their Dropbox home and will show in Recents. 
    • Paper 2020 release docs shared with Legacy users will be available on their Dropbox home, but not in Paper. 

    :books:

    Here is a help center article with all the information you need. 

    Feel free to ask more questions. 

    Cheers!

I'm working with some other people who started using Dropbox Paper after the switch to Paper 2020, but I started using it before that, so I'm still on old-Paper. I can edit Paper documents they've created, but I can't add new Paper documents next to theirs. How can I upgrade my account to Paper 2020 so I can collaborate with them? I'd be happy to export and re-import all of my documents in order to do so.

Thanks for reaching out to us here jyasskin!

 

I've just moved your post here, since you have a similar question to the OP here.

 

When you have the time, please take a look at Fiona's post here for some more info on this.

 

We are in the process of rolling this feature out to other users too over the coming months, but perhaps this will help if you want to start using this now.

 

Let me know if you have any questions!
