### "Gestión de proyecto con DropBox Paper"

October 7, 2023

5.0

Me ha gustado la comunicación entre pares a través de la aplicación y la forma de generar una continuidad de un proyecto a través de fases y etapas.

Pros

Me gusta contar con una aplicación en el celular para verificar los procesos de un proyecto y para buscar el avance necesario, por eso me ha parecido una aplicación fácil de usar y muy cómoda.

Cons

Debes enfocarte muy bien proyecto a proyecto debido a que es un gestor pero cuando cuentas con varios proyectos, debes mantener una organización paso a paso para no mezclar los objetivos.

### "Drop box helping smmes do business "

November 30, 2023

3.0

Overall I've had an easy and pleasant time using the app which is installed on my phone usually.

Pros

I like the fact that drop box makes it easier to send and receive large files. It also helps you arrange and manage your tasks. Save important documents and helps manage your daily needs.

Cons

Some times drop box doesn't allow you to click and drag files and store some large files too.

### "A product without a clear purpose"

April 25, 2023

4.0

Pros

I've mostly used Dropbox Paper for document storage and some collaboration in the past and it's been fine. We still keep some of our documents here and it's reasonably easy to file and organise these documents.

Cons

I feel that I've never fully understood the unique purpose of Dropbox Paper and so probably haven't made the most of it. It seems to me that it's superceded by other tools that are more successful and therefore I haven't had a good reason to use it more extensively. We use the Google suite, Notion and Linear more extensively for the features that Dropbox Paper offers.

### "What is this for?"

October 27, 2023

5.0

Great product for teams that are based in Dropbox. But if you're a lone-ranger in Dropbox and your team is in Google Workspace, you'll find it challenging to actually leverage either system for all of their benefits.

Pros

I like the ease of use. The command button, the keyboard shortcuts, and the fact that it was integrated in my file system worked great.

Cons

When I used Dropbox Paper, task management didn't feel like the purpose of the platform. It seemed like it wanted to give me an alternative to Google Docs. And, it sort of does, but largely didn't. I still needed to interact with my email which was in Gmail so I couldn't truly escape the Gmail ecosystem.

Alternatives considered

[Google Workspace](https://www.capterra.com/p/247901/Google-Workspace/)

Reason for choosing Dropbox Paper

Ultimately, I didn't. I reverted to Google Workspace because the people I was interfacing with most used Google Workspace AND I needed to access my own email which was in Google Workspace and the disconnect seemed like too much.

### "Revisión del software Dropbox Paper: ¿Vale la pena el uso para su equipo de trabajo?"

February 8, 2023

5.0

En general, mi experiencia con Dropbox Paper ha sido positiva. Es una herramienta fácil de usar y muy útil para la colaboración en tiempo real en documentos y proyectos con otros miembros del equipo. Me gusta la integración con otros servicios de Dropbox, como su almacenamiento en la nube, lo que facilita la gestión de documentos y proyectos en línea. La interfaz es intuitiva y ofrece muchas herramientas de formato y edición, lo que permite crear documentos atractivos y profesionales sin tener que recurrir a otros programas. Sin embargo, también he notado algunos problemas de rendimiento y la integración con otras herramientas podría ser más robusta. En general, mi experiencia con Dropbox Paper es buena y lo recomendaría a otros equipos que buscan una solución fácil y eficiente para la colaboración en documentos y proyectos.

Pros

Lo que más me ha gustado de Dropbox Paper es su facilidad de uso y su capacidad de colaboración en tiempo real con otras personas. Además, también me gusta su integración con otros servicios de Dropbox, como su almacenamiento en la nube, lo que facilita la gestión de documentos y proyectos en línea. También ofrece una gran cantidad de herramientas de formato y edición, lo que permite crear documentos atractivos y profesionales sin tener que recurrir a otros programas. En resumen, Dropbox Paper es una excelente opción para equipos que buscan una solución fácil y eficiente para la colaboración en documentos y proyectos.

Cons

Lo que menos me ha gustado de Dropbox Paper es que a veces puede ser un poco lento y puede experimentar problemas de rendimiento, especialmente cuando se trabaja con documentos grandes o con muchos elementos multimedia incorporados. Además, también he notado que la integración con otras herramientas y aplicaciones podría ser más robusta y tener más opciones. En general, aunque Dropbox Paper es una buena opción para la colaboración en documentos, todavía tiene algunos aspectos en los que puede mejorar.

### "Simple, sometimes too much"

February 17, 2021

4.0

I was using Paper in the previous company, and I remember that I liked it as long as I was able to find what I was looking for.

Pros

I liked the easiness of using the app. It's really simple to create a document, edit it, and even share it within the organization. It has a quite dynamic development.

Cons

Files organization and search. Unless you are the master of structures, you may find it hard to find a document among hundreds of others. What's more, it's sometimes hard to tell what Paper is really for: it's not exactly a good replacement for Google Docs, neither as for documentation tools like Confluence or Notion. The simplicity has its price.

Confluence was suffering from a few annoying bugs and is not as user-friendly as Paper.

### "Can't live without"

July 30, 2022

5.0

It literally has NEVER let me down and I rely on it heavily. I absolutely love it and makes my life so ,much easier. It has honestly been a lifesaver.

Pros

Over the years I have used this product with many types of OS and it has been seemless each time I have implemented. It is critical to the business survival as well as my personal use. I absolutely love it and would recommend it and have many times.

Cons

Actually, there is nothing I can think of in which makes me question the product, seriously.

### "Has a lot of potential! "

July 25, 2019

3.0

I work on a marketing team and I have started building my marketing plans directly in Paper for the to-do list functionality. I wish it had a regular calendar option though! Overall, it is a useful tool that is helpful for project management when collaborating.

Pros

I think the Dropbox Paper feature is fairly new. It has a great general layout where you have the ability to create tables, explain the document, make a to-do list and tag people plus make a timeline. You can highlight text or leave comments directly in the document which makes tracking progress and decisions super easy.

Cons

I really wish the to-do list had a capability to automotically put the dates in chronological order and add them to the timeline. Right now the option is there, but it is all manual. Plus, I could use more highlight color options for color coding!

### "Superb note-taking tool"

April 7, 2020

5.0

I've used Paper as a personal and professional note-taking app for the past few years. I see it as mainly a competitor to Evernote and Confluence, however it is superior to both in my opinion. The collaboration tools are excellent and the 'to-do' list is sufficiently powerful for the majority of use-cases. For myself, the best features are the fact that it uses normal markdown syntax and supports latex equations. All you need is a web-browser to use it and the mobile app is very solid. The app is simple, but it makes excellent design choices and as a result, anyone can use it immediately. Low barrier-to-entry and simplicity are exactly what I want from a note-taking/collaboration tool, so I would highly recommend it. It's not a replacement for a word processor, nor does it intend to be.

Pros

Simplicity, markdown syntax, latex markup, web content embedding, cross-platform

Cons

I would like footnotes and references. Performance stutters with very large documents.

### "Great collaborative document editor... for Dropbox users"

January 16, 2023

4.0

Very enjoyable document editor. The collaborative features are nice, but I also find myself using it quite often for documents on which I'm the sole writer. Great UX.

Pros

The general UX of the document editor is pure joy. It's smooth, intuitive, and overall very enjoyable to use.

Cons

There are some limitations for sharing access to the collaborative document with people who don't have a Dropbox account, which is kind of annoying.

### "Dropbox"

November 4, 2019

4.0

My overall experience with Dropbox has been good. The ability to upload files for suppliers to retrieve and quote parts I need versus having to physically send the hard copy files through the US mail, delaying receiving quotes.

Pros

What I like most about Dropbox is the max upload size.

Cons

What I like least about Dropbox is not being able to hide private files.

### "Great for quick notes - will be there any future development? "

October 10, 2019

4.0

Dropbox Paper is a quite good piece of software that helps me to be organised on my trips and share notes with my friends. I feel, however, that its development is a little bit in stagnation. I wish they could devote more care to this - especially if they could somehow integrate it into main desktop app.

Pros

I really like how quickly I can make notes and share them, ingegrate images or even Google Maps. I am using many different types of software for notetaking but I happen to come back to Dropbox Paper every time I want to make a special document for one of my trips (research or leisure) with detailed timetable, pictures of tickets, ideas etc. It is also easy to share a very user friendly.

Cons

My biggest issue is that it crashes on my Android phone (Nexus 6p). Otherwise, I think that it should be better integrated with the desktop Dropbox application. I really don't like that I have to always go on the website just to open the document and that Dropbox paper has a separate folder strcuture. It would be great if it would be simply another document in my Dropbox folder.

### "Great Paper Dropbox "

October 23, 2022

4.0

Pros

I was amazed by the ability to export and embed code fragments into Markdown. I already had a dropbox account, which causes me to save my little notes in it. the interface is awesome. I recommend it to those who use many different os during the day, those who already store their files in dropbox.

Cons

Desktop application is still not offered to business users. That's the only problem.

### "Handy add-on that comes with Dropbox"

September 7, 2022

4.0

Dropbox Paper can be used on your phone for editing documents on the go. You can choose templates for documents in order to save time.

Pros

Creating documents. Members of your team are able to leave comments on documents.

Cons

I ended up using Google Docs much more than Dropbox Paper. Google Docs seems quicker to access and simpler to use than Dropbox paper.

December 14, 2023

Pros

Real-time remote collaboration of a team of users, with the possibility of suggestions, comments and modifications

Cons

### "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.

Me encanta poder compartir los documentos de la carpeta con cualquier usuario que se quiera. Pudiendo así hacer la gestión de la documentación de un proyecto de forma más efectiva.

Cons

Me parece que el precio por el tamaño de capacidad de la nube es demasiado caro pero sigue siendo una buena opción
