    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!

Folks, 

It seems like Dropbox has gone completely dark on when long term, loyal business users are going to get the 2020 upgrade. 

Threads on this in the community look like they're not being monitored and the FAQs look like they're long out of date. 

 

It's critical that we're able to store paper files in our dropbox home folder – if we want to use it. We've been holding out for this mythical release for over a year. At the moment the dropbox solution is to use Word. So now we're paying for two cloud storage solutions. 

 

Can you please update.

I'd be really thankful for new information as well – just to have a time frame for the long expected update
