Dropbox API POST /2/paper/* endpoint removal

Deprecated, no dateSubscribe to Dropbox APIShare

Dropbox deprecated the POST /2/paper/* endpoints without a shutdown date. Calls to these endpoints will eventually fail. Dropbox API notes that the paper endpoints are being deprecated and you must interact with Paper content through other routes.


Calls it hits

  • POST /2/paper/*

What to use instead of these calls

Read and write Paper docs as .paper files through the /2/files and /2/sharing endpoints, using /2/files/export to export and /2/files/paper/create to create. Archiving Paper docs has no direct equivalent in the files endpoints, requiring a decision on whether deleting them is acceptable.

Archiving Paper docs has no equivalent in the files endpoints: someone must decide whether deleting them is acceptable.

In Dropbox API's words

The /paper endpoints are being deprecated and you'll need to use /files and /sharing endpoints to interact with their Paper content.
