How could I get Dropbox Paper 2020?
How could I upgrade to Dropbox Paper 2020 from the older version?
- 5 years ago
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.

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

Cheers!

Hello,
It's been over a year since response and the 2020 Dropbox Paper release has still not been rolled out to existing Dropbox users. Unfortunately, setting up a new Dropbox account isn't really practical for those of us who have large accounts and where Dropbox is deeply integrated into our existing workflow. Could we have an update as to whether this rollout is still going ahead? Thank you!

After checking in with our team, it seems they're still working on fully rolling out the features for Paper 2020.
Your patience on this has been valuable, and much appreciated!

Megan as the rollout was rescheduled from last year to this year Q2 – can we expect the launch within the next 8 weeks?

I am stunned. How has this not been rolled out yet, and why is it so hard to find ANY information about it?
I found a workaround:
– Share a folder from you current dropbox to a new account that has paper 2020
– Through the new account: Make MANY dropbox paper files in that folder (after this sharing permission to new account can be removed)
– The paper-files can me moved throughout your file system, renamed and fully worked with from your old account 🙂

I have to say I am losing my patience here - It's mid 2021, and the lack of a uniform rollout makes collaborating using paper extremely awkward. For example, it seems that many people are unable to create documents in shared folders in the old paper version.
Unless there is some clear communication about when we can expect this to work, my team will look for alternatives.

Hi Lori,
is there any update? Q3 is starting soon and we'd really like to start integrating.
