Hi Eric_B42, let's see what we can find about this together!

When you search for individual file names, what is the path that you see? Is it the same one that looks empty when you open it, and try to search for the files?

I woke up this morning and clicked on Dropbox.com to access Paper, only to be greeted with a screen saying there were no documents. After recovering from a panic attack, I was able to find them buried in a "migrated paper" folder on my Dropbox account. I am not sure how a huge business like Dropbox can make such a colossal error like this. You guys have heard of e-mail, right?!? Maybe a heads-up to your user base, which pays you for your service, would be a fundamental strategy to explore.
What is the strategy? As it is, navigating through the new "migrated" folder is painful and time-consuming, and the fact that there is still a Dropbox Paper page that is not connected to my files is frustrating and confusing. What is the point of all of this?
