Paper Migration Questions

gregghorton

I needed some clarity on this page:https://www.dropbox.com/lp/developers/reference/paper-migration-guide#endpoint-mapping-paper-api-to-dropbox-api

The following:
This change will not affect existing Paper users so you can still use /paper/ endpoints to work with Paper docs created by existing Paper users.
Your app can support both new and existing users as long as you use the appropriate endpoints for a given user.
We’ll eventually retire the Paper API by Q2 2021

Does this mean that the api will no longer work for current users by then?

Dropbox Paper files in the filesystem (.paper files) is enabled on a per-user basis. 

 

Users whose accounts are enabled for it will default to creating .paper docs in the filesystem, and those who are not will default to creating Paper docs using the legacy model.

 

We are actively migrating the existing users from the old model to the new.

 

Your app can inspect for which mode users have using the /features/get_values API.
