It offers a clean and intuitive interface that makes collaboration easy and efficient. The ability to work in real-time with others, coupled with its integration with Dropbox, streamlines project management. However, I wish it had more robust formatting tools to handle a wide range it documents. Pros Its seamless collaboration features, allowing real-time editing and brainstorming with my team, all in one beautifully designed workspace. Cons less advanced formatting options especially when trying to create more complex documents or presentations Review Source KR Kay R. Owner Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple, Clean, and Great for Teamwork" December 15, 2024 5.0 It’s been really solid for working with other people and keeping ideas organized. I’ve used it for lists, planning, and creative stuff, and it works great for that. It’s just not as powerful as Google Docs if you need all the bells and whistles Pros I really like how clean and simple Dropbox Paper feels. It’s not cluttered like some other tools, so it’s super easy to just start writing or brainstorming. I also love that you can drop in videos, images, and even Spotify links – everything looks good and works smoothly Cons It’s a bit basic when it comes to formatting. If you’re trying to make a super polished document, it’s not the best for that. Also, you can’t really use it offline, which can be annoying when you don’t have great internet. Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) I wanted something simpler and cleaner for brainstorming and quick collaboration. Dropbox Paper’s ability to embed videos, images, and even Spotify playlists all in one place made it perfect for creative projects and team workflows. Plus, I already use Dropbox, so it just made sense. Review Source BD Blake D.

Too many alternatives try doing too much in a small window of use. Dropbox Paper keeps you connected, on the same page, and mobile when need be. Pros The most powerful feature for us (working in software) has been the simplistic yet powerful markup and shortcuts system. The formatting is so easy to use but also isn't restricted to one method, allowing more mouse-centric or keyboard-oriented users flexability. Cons I wouldn't mind seeing a dedicated desktop application in addition to the browser interface. Even if it was just a PWA, it would keep users from being so married to more tabs in their web browser. Alternatives considered [Roam](https://www.capterra.com/p/236467/Roam/) Reason for choosing Dropbox Paper After very little time in a 'test drive' mode, Paper made it clear it was the right fit for our needs. No bloat and unused feature sets with reasonable pricing sealed the deal.

May 20, 2021 5.0 I work on an IT team, and I've started using Dropbox Paper's to-do list features to create my information technology plans. However, I am hoping it had a daily calendar alternative! Overall, it's a valuable method for managing projects when working with others. Pros I believe Dropbox Paper is a relatively new feature. It has a fantastic general layout that allows you to create tables, describe the text, create a to-do list, tag people, and create a timeline. You may emphasize text or leave a note directly in the paper, making it simple to keep track of progress and make decisions. Cons I hope the to-do list could place the dates in sequential sequence and attach them to the calendar automatically. The choice is currently available, but it is entirely manual. Plus, for color coding, I need more highlight color choices so it i can distinguished between the notes or the editing that has added to the document. Switched from [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) Dropbox paper is more suitable for editing document and sharing it with my colleagues. Review Source Javier A.

Pros Paper is a incredibly well polished cloud based wysiwyg markdown editor and along with Medium has set the standard for these. It includes some handy features like tables and to-do lists It comes directly with your Dropbox account. It also has very easy sharing. But above all its minimalistic interface helps you focus on writing and removes most distractions. Cons Since it is markdown based, it lacks but the most basic formatting options. So if you want more visual adjustments or advanced word processing features, you won't find them in paper Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) A more polished UI and a more minimalistc approach to writing Review Source aM alex M.

July 19, 2024 5.0 I don't use it as much as other note-capturing apps (Like Apple Notes and google docs), but I have been impressed with how easy DropBox Paper is and the features it has. Pros The features, especially: Timeline, tables, ToDo lists, adding media. Cons It is not quite as quick or convenient as Apple Notes or services like that. Review Source Aleksandra S. Freelancer Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Minimalism and Speed" December 21, 2019 5.0 Dropbox Paper works great in browser and on Android, allowing on accessing my notes on the go. Issues I had with its compatibility were resolved after I reported them, which made me more keen on using it as the developer team was ready to listen to issues. Despite some organization issues, it is a versatile app that streamlines the process of note-taking and makes it a hassle-free experience no matter the project type or industry. Pros Dropbox Paper is fast and clean markdown editor, which allows anyone to create notes on the go. Its formatting of the language is beautifully done, providing minimalist and responsive environment free from distractions or unnecessary features. The editor performs well even with hundreds of images and the formatting changes are instant. There's no limit on amount of notes or their length, taking away the worry of running out of space mid-session. Cons Organization of the notes lacks everything that editor has. The default view of folders is rather unappealing and the slow to adjust UI can be rather confusing, often resulting in creation of many empty documents instead of opening an exiting one. Folders are displayed as a list as opposed to a nesting tree seen in many other note-taking applications, and there is no way to set a categories for folders or color-code them for easy access. A dark mode for the app and browser version would make it a lot easier to use for those with nightly creativity surge. Review Source KW Kat W.

Customer Support Lead Printing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lukewarm Feelings About Dropbox Paper" August 19, 2019 4.0 I've only used Paper in the limited scope that my colleagues have sort of forced it upon me during our meetings and projects together. Otherwise, I'd probably still just default to Google Docs (which is admittedly, still my go to when I'm typing up something I don't need to share outside my team). So it's possible that with more time, use, and experience my impression of Dropbox Paper will improve. But currently, it just feels like a product designed to do more or less exactly what Google Docs does. There are some differences and I will admit that I enjoy using Paper when we're brainstorming and it's a great fit for our meeting notes. I also like the organization and look of all our Dropbox Paper documents better than Google Docs and sharing within our team seems rather simple. But it just feels unnatural for me in every day use and I find it difficult to perform tasks that I can easily do within Docs. I don't necessarily dislike it - but honestly the only reason I use it is because it's been adopted by people I work with. Pros I like that Dropbox Paper feels like a natural fit for team collaboration and meeting notes. The templates are also very nice and useful. I like the suggested fields it offers and it does help prompt me to explore and describe whatever project my team is working on. Cons I have so much trouble with formatting when I'm editing a document. I spend more time trying to tweak the text I entered than it took to write it in the first place. I have trouble finding the tools I need or want to use within Paper, but this might just be because I am so accustomed to other word processing software. Review Source sheza H.
