### "Dropbox Paper is a must have for any professional organization. "

May 13, 2024

5.0

Pros

Dropbox Paper combines ease of use, collaboration features, and customization options, making it a versatile tool for both individual note-taking and team collaboration.

Cons

I have no cons for Dropbox paper. One feature that can be enhanced is the Offline limitations. Although Dropbox allows offline editing, some students and staff reported limitations. For instance, offline mode doesn’t support all features. This is the only improvement which can be considered.

### "Great product"

May 3, 2024

5.0

Great product, would recommend for companies that have employees at different locations so they can collaborate on the documents.

Pros

Great tool for keeping notes and have your team collaborate on it. The mobile app ensures team members that are working remotely or on a project site can access the notes. Nice features are being able to add a timeline so the entire team stays on track with their tasks and responsibilities.

Cons

The editing features are limited, however there are many other programs if you need a more in depth editing program.

### "Good for collaborating on projects "

April 7, 2024

3.0

I use Dropbox paper with projects at their nascent stage but for more involved steps in the later steps of a project, I use other tools that allow a wider set of app integrations.

Pros

Dropbox paper is very useful when starting out with a project and the initial steps including: -Setting milestones -Assigning tasks to team members

Cons

More sophisticated project needs like modifying it in any way and notifying the members each time is not as efficient. Also, everyone on the team needs to have access to dropbox paper to use most of the features.

### "It is the best tool or platform for creating documents."

August 6, 2023

4.0

I'm making folders to organize my documents and make them available from any device, and it also allows me to work with others. Any file we work on is automatically saved, so there is never a problem with data loss. Instead of overwriting it, Dropbox creates another version for changes we make to documents, allowing us to seamlessly revert any written changes by going to a previous version of the document, which is useful when writing code and running into errors while expanding it. It solves our problem of finding a location to store all of our information; it's simple to organize and generate documents; and I enjoy making folders.

Pros

Dropbox Paper is a simple and easy platform for producing papers and communicating with others; it takes little to no time to set up documents, and users have the option to personalize documents to meet their own needs. You may import material from other websites, such as photographs, movies, and GIFs. It is a comprehensive collaboration tool, and one of the finest features is list generation; you may have to-do lists, bulleted lists, numbered lists, and so on.

Cons

The UI may be difficult to use, and it's not always straightforward to discover the functions I require. Furthermore, the Dropbox role does not always function properly with other apps, so I have to troubleshoot a few times.

### "Dropbox carries all our information in the cloud"

May 23, 2023

4.0

We are a small non-profit organization with employees in four locations. We needed a "server" that would allow us to securely store all of our documents, back them up on an ongoing basis, and be easy to access for company employees who were not part of the management team. It is also necessary to share documents with third parties who are not part of the company and who also have read-only or edit-only access. Dropbox accomplishes this in an outstanding way. Dropbox is more convenient for me than other programs like Carbonite or Google Docs. It is simpler to use and functions as a repository where all my documents are stored, but I can only access them when I am not logged in. The next time I log in on a wireless network, it will take care of syncing everything again.

Pros

Dropbox makes a duplication of everything, so in case something goes wrong, you don't lose any documents you've been working on. Dropbox makes files available from the web, so I don't need to carry my computer with me at all times. Dropbox syncs with all team members' computers, allowing documents to be kept up to date and accessible to all employees at all work locations.

Cons

With Dropbox software installed on my computer, I can access any file on the server, even when I'm not logged in. However, it does mean that I have a copy of everything on my local computer, and that can take up significant hard drive storage space quickly. If Dropbox is not installed on your computer, it will take longer to visit the website, enter your details and find the document you want, then you will have to download and install it before you can upload it.

### "Storing and sharing of files in Dropbox"

July 29, 2021

5.0

Designing a simpler approach to keep files in sync was part of making work better for individuals. Today, it entails creating solutions that decrease busywork so you may concentrate on the important tasks. The majority of productivity tools obstruct your progress. They ding, distract, and disturb the flow of your team, so you spend your days hopping between apps and tracking down feedback. It's a waste of time, not the important stuff. This is something we want to fix. I believe that there is a better way to work. Dropbox makes it easier for people to stay organized, stay focused, and communicate with their teams.

Pros

Dropbox's key benefit is that it is absolutely free. There are no hidden fees or extra expenses after you begin using the service. When you sign up for a Dropbox account, you get two gigabytes (GB) of storage space for free. This is a generous amount of storage. There are, however, ways to expand your area without spending a dime. Sending Dropbox fan mail, connecting your Dropbox to social media, and urging family, friends, and other individuals to join Dropbox are all examples of these ways. Dropbox allows you to share files. All you have to do is place the files in a folder that is designated for sharing with certain users or the general public to do this. Dropbox is also an excellent platform for storing and backing up data. This implies that if your computer or smartphone fails or is lost, you can simply access all of the files stored on it using Dropbox. This will save you a lot of time and effort.

Cons

The security of the files is one of the tool's drawbacks. Dropbox's security has been called into question. There have been a number of instances of servers being hacked and data being stolen. As a result, any sensitive information stored on Dropbox should be kept safe. The encryption used to protect user data on Dropbox is currently only known by the developers. Users are not permitted to encrypt their information before uploading it to Dropbox.

### "Easy to use interface "

January 22, 2023

5.0

Very glad to come across this app, makes the online docs look more accessible and ensures proper security. Thumbs up.

Pros

It’s icons and extensions make it easy to use, it has important components that help prioritize docs according to their importance. Mobile access on android and ios is up to standard too.

Cons

Not at the moment, I like everything because it helps make my work easier although, you need a drop box account to use this.

### "Good experience "

September 1, 2023

5.0

Dropbox paper is great when collaborating as a team.

Pros

I use Dropbox paper for meeting notes, project plans, event plans, and other miscellaneous documents. The integration with Dropbox makes it a good option for teams and collaboration because it's easy to safely and securely share documents. It's easy to organize, format, and edit documents as well.Now I can turn any document into a template on Dropbox paper. That's a big deal because I can quickly get the exact document that I need and use it anytime. Just click the "Templatize" icon. It will be shareable as well. That's so much simpler than the old method of clearing information and re-entering.

Cons

Dropbox is a little more expensive than it's competitors. Additionally, I like the security of sharing with Dropbox, however sometimes I need to share with someone who does not have a Dropbox account and I want to drop those security measures for that particular instance. It's difficult to do that.

### "Dropbox still needs Improvement"

February 15, 2023

4.0

as a new manager in this company (school) I have introduced Dropbox to improve the way all work processes and to track all the different operations tasks and projects. so it solved so many problems related to managing and tracking projects and it yielded good results

Pros

Dropbox has been round for quite sometime. it has many advantages:Apps available for practically every operating systemFlexible array of collaborative toolsSolid offerings for premium subscribersDigital signatures enabledSuperb app integrationAutomatic file backup and synchronizationOffline functionalityit is still one of the best apps out there

Cons

however it needs some improvementsPoor storage limits for free usersComparatively expensive paid subscriptionsSecurity weaknessesLimited search functionif these elements were improved, the app will be the best in the market

### "COULD be great, but it's just OKAY"

August 3, 2021

4.0

Pros

Dropbox is pretty great as a streamlined, limited-option software for document creation. It is generally aesthetically pleasing and really very easy to use, especially if you want a lot of nice-looking hyperlinks (automatically formatted to embed) and photos.

Cons

However, unlike Google Docs and Google Drive, you cannot embed Dropbox Paper docs in other places. In my opinion and use case, this kills the experience of the software. The reason I like Paper is because of the ease and casualness of it. But its best use is not as a "main line," but rather as an "extension" to be utilized by some other main line—I hope that image comes across effectively. It has so much potential, but you can tell Dropbox doesn't really care about it anymore. I'm sad about that because I really do enjoy it, despite my criticisms.

### "Um Texte, Beschreibungen und Dokumente mit mehreren Projektpartner zu bearbeiten ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

January 29, 2023

5.0

Hilfreiches Tool das ich im Alltag nicht mehr missen möchte. Besonders die Zugrifffunktion über die App auf dem Mac ist sehr komfortable.

Pros

Texte, Beschreibungen oder Dokumente zu erstellen an denen ich nicht nur alleine arbeite. Hierfür ist Paper einer der besten Apps, die ich in diesem Bereich kenne. Viel einfacher und praktikabler als bspw. Word, weil die keine Dokumente hin und her geschickt werden müssen.

Cons

Die Formatierungsoptionen sind nicht besonders üppig. Dies ist wirklich ein Nachteil für mich. Ich habe das so gelöst, dass ich das Dokument nach Fertigstellung downloade und erst dann endgültig formatiere.

### ""Dropbox Paper: a task management solution for simple projects and small teams"

March 27, 2023

5.0

My overall experience using Dropbox Paper was very positive. I found the user interface to be intuitive and easy to navigate, which allowed me to get started quickly without the need for extensive training. In addition, I found the real-time collaboration feature very useful for working with other team members, as it allowed us to work on the same document simultaneously and avoid versioning issues.

Pros

Real-time collaboration: Dropbox Paper allows multiple people to work on a document at the same time, in real time. This means that everyone can see the changes made to the document in real time, making collaboration easier.

Cons

Storage limitations: Dropbox Paper offers limited storage space, which can be a problem if you work with many large files. In this case, you may have to pay for additional storage space.

Reason for choosing Dropbox Paper

Real-time collaboration: Dropbox Paper offers real-time collaboration functionality, which means you and your team can work on the same document simultaneously, without having to worry about version conflicts.

### "Excelente gestor de tareas"

October 7, 2023

5.0

Mi experiencia ha sido muy buena, me gusta la manera en la que está organizada la interfaz de usuario, es bastante amigable por lo que la adaptación al software ha sido muy rápida. Me ha ayudado a organizar mis actividades pendientes y creo que es uno de los mejores gestores de tareas que existe

Pros

Lo que más me gusta es la forma en la que puedo organizar mis documentos, me permite una mejor gestión de ellos, puedo agregar archivos de video, enlaces de otros sitios, puedo crear tablas y líneas de tiempo. Puedo crear listas de tareas, agregar comentarios, etc. La verdad es que tiene funciones muy útiles que lo diferencian del resto de gestores de tareas del mercado.

Cons

Hasta ahora no tengo quejas, aunque tengo poco tiempo usándolo, pero realmente me ha sorprendido.

### "Great Software for collaboration "

July 1, 2019

4.0

Great! I use Paper to brainstorm, work on writing projects, collaborate and share my work easily. The android app is a life saver!

Pros

1\. Integration with Dropbox storage (I can embed a file in my Dropbox storage that others can easily access and download 2. Formatting options (H1, H2, H3, bold, underline, italics etc.) 3. Ability export to docx and pdf 4. Collaboration (I used this to collaborate with writers from all over the world, and it makes it easy to see who wrote what, what was changed, the comment option is great for chatting with collaborators) 5. Mobile app (I love this feature as the Android app works just as well as the desktop version) 6. Organizations. I like the ability to create templates that can be used for new notes, create folders and subfolders to keep my notes organized, as well as the ability invite a collaborator to work on a specific document or all documents in a folder

Cons

TABLES: There is no merge feature to merge two or more columns, also with the new change/update the ability to switch your table from full size to the usual compact size is gone. Lastly I hoped it'd be able to select all columns in the top row and make the text bold or a larger size than the rest of the table but I'd have to format each column individually.

### "Buona estensione di Dropbox "

January 30, 2023

5.0

Pros

Il software è versatilissimo e molto intuitivo nelle funzioni base. Mi piace molto la facilità di inserimento dei link, la possibilità di visualizzare le anteprime e la semplicità nel mettere ordine all'interno del file. Molto utile la funzione che permette di inserire una cronologia di eventi molto Chiara. Ottima anche la modalità presentazione per visualizzare i contenuti in maniera statica.

Cons

Non è molto semplice creare dei contenuti belli esteticamente, bisogna saperci smanettare. L'applicativo inoltre non è molto conosciuto dunque la mancanza di diffusione rende difficile la condivisione di file attraverso il circuito interno al software.

### "No Dropbox Paper for me"

October 17, 2022

3.0

Not so good, they should maybe try and improve the software to be like GDocs perhaps, but offer other features that GDocs currently does not have.

Pros

None so far, it was already the software being used by my company when I first started working with them. Basically I had no choice in the matter and had to use it for about 2 years before we switched to GDocs.

Cons

For me, it was a bit challenging to use the software tbh. I tried to use it for 6 months, but I prefer the layout and features of Google Docs. Good thing our company decided to stop using it and we switched right away.

### "Dropbox Paper Review"

December 26, 2023

5.0

I've been using Dropbox Paper for a few years now and am really impressed with how easy it is to use. I can create documents, share them with my team, and collaborate in real time. It's great for both personal and professional projects. The design of the app is intuitive and the layout makes it easy to find what I need. I also really appreciate the ability to access my documents from any device, and the integration with other Dropbox tools is a huge plus. Overall, Dropbox Paper is an amazing tool and I highly recommend it!

Pros

We are very impressed with how easy it is to use.

Cons

It is not always easy to format documents within the app, with limited options for styling text and images.

### "Dropbox Paper Review"

April 19, 2021

5.0

Overall, Paper is great as a group work software. It's generally okay and has a easy to use interface. It would be great if tiny facts like presentation handling were further improved. Training an employee or student to use it does not require a lot of effort, so that benefit makes it stand out from the rest of the type.

Pros

Dropbox Paper is more of a unique software. It is quite easy to handle and is an excellent program for group work. The greatest feature I see is the ability to use many media types along with it compared to other programs of the same type. It's ease of creating tasks and assigning them are overwhelming.

Cons

There are not many drawbacks when it comes to Dropbox paper, except for the fact that it does not include a spellchecker which is quite annoying sometimes. If this one feature was included I think Paper would be a more popular program in the business world.

### "Dropbox Paper hits the sweet spot of simplicity and functionality"

October 29, 2019

5.0

I use paper for meeting notes, work-night checklists, documentation (it wiki), project tracking... and various similar features with my family with the personal account.

Pros

I love the simplicity of the tasklists with due dates and assigned users. We use this tool for so many things, and its just what we need and nothing we don't in each case. (shout out to the sorting features: ctrl+arrow)

Cons

Oh geez. I can't even. I'm trying to think of any time I've been frustrated or disappointed... nothing comes to mind. I think once the auto-renaming of URLs based on the title flaked out for a bit and make links not work right. Self-corrected.

### "A better version of Google Docs"

December 17, 2019

4.0

It helps when we have a larger story to work on or project, allowing editors to look in on work and make changes, even though we're not in the same room (or the same building).

Pros

Easy to use, perfect for groups working on projects. Not only can you share documents, but you also can get updates from different group members. In some ways, it's like a mix of Google Docs and Stack.

Cons

Nothing really. It's works well, both on wifi and using data on phones and laptops. It doesn't take long to train an employee to use it successfully.

Switched from

[Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/)

At the time, Google Docs had issues working on some browsers. That created problems where we had some employees able to access the documents and others couldn't. Dropbox Paper solved that problem.
