I wrote off paper when they announced (later 2019) that everyone would be migrated to the new storage in a few months and then kept pushing the date out over the next four years.

It seemed that they were not allocating any resources to the project.

I did check back every year or so for entertainment purposes. Mine was migrated in November of 2024.

To my best understanding, my old paper documents were just deleted. I can still log into the old paper.Dropbox.com but see an empty list. I assume this means my account was never migrated.

Around November 2024, mine were all moved to a folder tree "Migrated Paper Docs" in my dropbox in a folder tree, as .paper files. The web UI says the folder has 84 decedents. My backup, done through the API years ago has 118, but there may be some deleted ones in there.

If I go to paper.dropbox.com, I only see six under "starred" in the left hand side (after unfolding the tree) and two in the main area. After opening another starred one, which links into dropbox, the main area now shows three.

So the migration to dropbox did mostly work for me, but whatever was left at paper.dropbox.com is messed up.
