# /2/paper/* is deprecated

Dropbox API deprecated POST /2/paper/* without giving a shutdown date yet.

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.

## What to use instead

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.
