Dropbox Paper

Anyone viewing a publicly shared Dropbox Paper document could see the full names and email addresses of every signed-in Dropbox user who had ever opened it — turning a collaboration feature into a personal-data harvesting tool.

Dropbox Paper, once promoted as the future of collaborative documents, was steadily de-emphasized: docs were migrated into the ordinary Dropbox filesystem from 2019, scattering folders and breaking the app's structure, and the Paper mobile app was discontinued in October 2025.

Dropbox discontinued the Dropbox Paper mobile and desktop apps on 9 October 2025, leaving the once-flagship collaborative-document product accessible only through a web browser.
