Once a cursor has been retrieved from [docs/list](api:dropbox-api:POST/2/paper/docs/list), use this to paginate through all Paper doc. Note that this endpoint will continue to work for content created by users on the older version of Paper. To check which version of Paper a user is on, use /users/features/get_values. If the paper_as_files feature is enabled, then the user is running the new version of Paper. Refer to the [Paper Migration Guide](https://www.dropbox.com/lp/developers/reference/paper-migration-guide) for migration information. **Required scope:** `files.metadata.read` **Endpoint format:** [RPC](https://docs.dropboxapi.com/dropbox-api/docs/technical-reference/request-response-formats#rpc-endpoints) **Authentication:** [User](https://docs.dropboxapi.com/dropbox-api/docs/auth-types#user-authentication) This endpoint does not support apps with the app folder permission.

Authentication

AuthorizationBearer
OAuth 2.0 token issued to a specific user. Use `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Public clients should use the authorization code flow with PKCE (S256). For background or offline access, send `token_access_type=offline` during authorization and use the returned refresh token to obtain new access tokens. You can generate a short-lived access token from the App Console; see [Testing with a generated token](https://docs.dropboxapi.com/dropbox-api/docs/oauth#testing-with-a-generated-token).
