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 could I get Dropbox Paper 2020?
How could I upgrade to Dropbox Paper 2020 from the older version?
More than one year from this post, and there still are two different versions of dropbox paper running at the same time. That has no sense at all
This is so annoying to work with collaborations.... I hope you can solve.... tired of hoping.... I´ll start searching for another tool and it´s a pitty.
Am I reading this correctly that Dropbox has scrapped the "2020" version of paper, or at least decided not to make it available to long-time users?
It's too bad; re-working Paper seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it.
no – there was a certain date in 2020 and all users signin up after that date automatically got the "new version". #
Then Drobpox announced to update all existing users (so long term users in this case because they signed up pre-2020) until the end of 2020 which was pushed to Q3 2021 which is literally in 2 weeks and we haven't gotten any notice yet.
Really really unfortunate – nobody asks to finish until the announced deadline (even if it was pushed once already) but any estimate or update would be helpful to start prepartions for the "new system" or do decision on text-based collaborative tools.
Quick update while I'm in the neighborhood, in case anyone at Dropbox ever sees this, I'm talking my company out of switching from Box to Dropbox because of the lack of long-term support for the product. Dropbox is by far the more user-friendly service for now, but if features as big as Paper get quietly orphaned like this, an Enterprise account seems like a real risk.
Best,
