Dropbox Paper

Dropbox is migrating its Paper documents into the regular Dropbox file system, so your Paper docs will now appear on dropbox.com as files with a .paper extension. Existing Paper docs will be moved into a "Migrated Paper Docs" folder (for individual accounts) or a "Team Paper Docs" folder (for team accounts). You can access them through your Dropbox desktop account or through a web browser.

 

Purpose
The purpose is to create a unified experience, making it easier for users to organize, find, and share all their files in one place. This integration allows Paper docs to exist alongside regular files, be stored in standard folders, and use the same version history.

 

What to Expect – No down time is expected during migration

When?

Effective January 2, 2026
