## What to use instead

Read and write Paper docs as .paper files through the /2/files and /2/sharing endpoints (export with /2/files/export, create with /2/files/paper/create).

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

## 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.
