    Hey Agility-LA! Thanks for posting this on our forum and welcome aboard.

    It sounds like this is a result of your Dropbox team migrating over to the new release of Dropbox Paper indeed.

    I hope this helps, but I'll be here for anything else.

    Thank you, Nancy! I hadn't really followed the Paper/Paper2020 updates over the years so this was all news to me this morning. Good to know it's normal behavior and nothing to worry about.

    I hope you have a great week!
