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.
The new Dropbox Paper UI doesn't allow me to adjust the navigation column
So I use Dropbox paper EXTENSIVELY and the new upgrade is not working my way. I get that the Paper is now a part of the file system. I can browse the folder using a file exporer and double clicking will open the website. That way does not work for me. If I go to paper.dropbox.com my documents are almost (99,9% gone) gone and all of my folder structure is completely gone. There is one single document. If I click on that I see the document and a sidebar that contains my folders (along with the rest of dropbox - which is annoying, but apparantly the new way). What is REALLY annoying is that everytime I click on a document, the sidebare reposition content, and I can't see the real location without using the scroll bars. And I can't resize the the sidebar. This view is completely useless. I can't click through document because of this reloading and repositioning. And I am not mentioning the fact that it is also slow, because of the way it loads the documents and loads folder structures lazy. Is my Paper profile broken? Or is this the way it is supposed to work? If that is the way it is supposed to work, I am looking for a new platform.
How to deal with new Dropbox Paper files after migration and locate them?
I am so confused right now. Prior to the upgrade, I had created folders within Dropbox paper so all of my documents are in those folders. I can see those folders within the "Migrated Paper Docs" folder in Dropbox. But when I open the Paper website or the app on my phone, I can't see any of those folders. In theory, I can search for any document that's in those folders, but I want to be able to browse through the folders. I also tried moving the folders from the Migrated folder into the "Paper Docs" folder but nothing happened and I still couldn't see or browse through those folders. On the Paper website, one can now create 'Sections' and move docs into Sections but I have no idea what the use of that is because after creating one, I can't see them within the App. I have no idea what I am supposed to do now to organize this mess. This upgrade should have been seamless to users.
Paper is empty and "Migrated Paper Docs" folders are empty
Hi dear team. Thank you in advance for your time. This is an urgent call 🙏 as all my Paper documents are lost right now. I am a long time active user of Dropbox and Paper.I use both weekly since many years. I noticed this "Migrated Paper Docs" suddenly showed up some days ago in my laptop which contained empty folders inside, so I deleted it from my computer. Then, today I just realized that Paper is empty, zero files inside my Paper account, so I wonder if "Migrated Paper Docs" folder is now connected to Paper?... anyways, I restored the Migrated Paper Docs folder from Dropbox but it is still empty. Could you help me recover the 100% of my Paper files? I had all sort of VERY important information 🙏
Unable to download Dropbox Paper Android - Was made for an older version of Android
Hi - I have a Fairphone 5 on Android 14 and I recently went to install Dropbox Paper, but the Play Store says that the app was made for an older version of Android and thus am unable to download it. I have tried joining the beta program to see if that changed things, but it did not. Is this a known issue? Is Dropbox releasing an update soon? How can I install Dropbox Paper?"Migrated Paper Docs" folders are all empty
Looks like Dropbox ran their migration of paper.dropbox.com to their "Migrated Paper Docs" folder on my dropbox account. But when I go to the "Migrated Paper Docs" folder they created in my dropbox account, the folders I had in Paper seem to have been migrated, but they are all empty! And when I go to "paper.dropbox.com", it's empty with nothing. I had LOTS of document that I've stored for years here, did Dropbox just lose all my files? These are critical documents, what's going on?
Dropbox Paper docs appear on the mobile app, but not my web account.
I’ve been using Dropbox and Paper for over 8years now. Everything was working well until this morning. Now the files that are on my paper app on my phone are nowhere to be found on my paper account online. I use Dropbox for my writing career and have the biggest show in years coming up Sunday. I have had a ticket open since 10am and have received no correspondence. I can see all my docs in the paper app just fine, and I can search for them on Dropbox but if I don’t remember the title, it doesn’t allow me to view them. I have over 200 paper files, and I have noticed that if I copy them all one by one and paste them into this new interface then I may have a shot I self restoring. This is terrible and my show is less than 48 hours. Can someone please help me!!!
Why am I seeing guests accessing my Dropbox Paper document?
Hi there, I'm a big fan of Dropbox Paper and been using it for a long while. 2 questions: Is this product still being developed, or will it be sunset at some point? On my Dropbox paper document, I see several badges of many guest users viewed it at the top right corner, although the document is totally private and not shared with anyone. Should I be worried? I access the Dropbox Paper documents mainly through my laptop and sometimes from my iPhone; both are logged into my Dropbox account.
