### "A pretty simple and very efficient tool to work on documents as a team!"

December 12, 2020

4.0

I find Dropbox Paper to be a very functional choice to work on documents as a team, not only due to the editing & organizational tools, but because of its sharing options and the possibility to include rich media links/files.

Pros

This Dropbox function is for free if you have a Dropbox account. Pretty simple in its deployment and easy to use, its main and super top feature is its collaboration functionality: you can write or create texts and share them right away through the platform with other members of your team, like reviewers, editors, etc. You can add comments, assign tasks to different persons via E-mail or by @ naming them, set due dates, etc., keeping track of the revisions and developments at the same time. And a great plus is that it supports a variety of media from diverse sources, such as pictures and videos.

Cons

Although the application is centered in document creation & edition, the fact that the formatting bars are not fixed but floating make the platform a bit "untidy" to work with.

### "Like iOS notes on Steroids"

April 11, 2021

5.0

Pros

The simplicity is what makes Dropbox paper great. There was a time when we needed Microsoft Word to write long essay like papers but times have involved since then and Dropbox paper can be an extensive writing tool or just a simple way to share notes

Cons

There isn't an easy way to learn about the extensive features, I'm sure there's a lot of cool things I could do within DBox Paper but I have no idea how to learn them

### "Stand Out Software for Quick Collaboration and Note Taking"

September 23, 2019

5.0

So far it has been a great tool for keeping track of Client specific documentation and for keeping notes for all of our meetings both internally and with clients.

Pros

Paper provides quick access to tools within every document which allow for teams to quickly brainstorm ideas, track changes, take notes and comment on each others ideas. Not a ground breaking product but has inbuilt simplicity that is tough to compare to.

Cons

When the software was newer you could not delete documents however this has since been resolved and now only the user who created the document can delete it. Admins still cannot delete documents created by users.

### "Dropbox Paper - A Useful and Inexpensive Collaborative / Task Management Tool"

January 29, 2022

4.0

In summary, Dropbox Paper is an excellent collaborative tool that avoids overwhelm so everyone can readily share ideas when working on text and visuals without having to wade through too much detail and excessive functionality.

Pros

I liked the way my collaborators could work on a document independently and the immediacy of seeing each other's contributions. We do a lot of graphical work, so the ability to include images and the integration with apps for artistic work (e.g. Invision App) is essential for our purposes.

Cons

The feature where you could comment on a specific point in the image was a bit hidden. My colleagues just tended to leave a comment near the image, without noticing that feature until I discovered it late in the day and showed them how to use it. Including Spotify songs proved difficult and I am still not sure how I managed to include Huey Lewis track instead of the intended song!

Reason for choosing Dropbox Paper

The immediacy of Dropbox Paper won us over.

### "Another great collaboration tool by Dropbox"

July 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

I really like this simple tool. It is easy to use and it's really clutter-free. Collaboration is easy with this awesome app. I can add users or attendees and mention them. I can also use them for notes and brainstorming ideas. I also love the fact that I can choose a template to work with. It helped me to save time.

Cons

It is not as advanced as other collaboration tools. But for me, it works really well and I love its simplicity.

### "Best Product Ever"

January 28, 2020

Pros

Dropbox is the best way to access documents from anywhere and share with others regardless of what type of document you are saving. You don't have to just use Microsoft Word or just use PDF's, you can save and share anything.

Cons

No problems- love Dropbox with all my heart.

### "Get documents on the go"

September 16, 2019

3.0

Pros

I liked that you can download dropbox to your computer/phone and use it as another folder, there's no need to remember to upload the files to their page, it will automatically do it for you.

Cons

Altough you can pay for aditional space 2GB for the free package is way too low.

### "Excellent online share app"

February 8, 2020

5.0

My experience with Dropbox has been pretty good no complaints besides the fact that the free version might need a bit more space

Pros

Dropbox was one of the primary founders of mass storage on the cloud. During my university career, it was one of the most useful and innovate tool I basically used it in every course as a container where you were able to share content with your colleges, nowadays I think still is a great tool that can help to manage a lot of information regardless the finally.

Cons

If you like the free version and maintain many GBs on the cloud, you may need to move to the business version for more space.

### "No need to worry anymore that you will lose your files"

October 16, 2019

5.0

It is a software that I kind of started to use automatically. It is just a part of my must-have softwares :).

Pros

I like the most that it saves the files automatically. Anything can happen and information is ...priceless. Having it backed up is great, especially if it is done automatically. I also like the option that you can go into your Dropbox account, take a photo (you go on your phone) of your notes and save it and you can access it immediately on any device.

Cons

Didn't find any cons - I mean you do need an internet connection, but this is normal for something that works like this.

July 25, 2019

4.0

Pros

I use Dropbox all the time to submit resumes and references. It's easy to use and gives me my own dedicated space in my computer for it.

Cons

When the internet is down, this product does not work. Also, the speed of syncing depends a lot on internet speed.

Algemeen een super fijn en gebruiksvriendelijk programma!

Pros

### "Ottimo strumento per gestire day-by-day task management"

October 17, 2022

5.0

Pros

Funzionalità ottime per gestire il lavoro in team, anche visualmente molto piacevole e facile da usare. Piacciono molto la possibilità di lasciare commenti ed evidenziare elementi nei documenti creati per i vari task, il che rende rapida l'analisi delle cose da fare e gli appunti dei vari membri.

Cons

Migliorabile la formattazione del testo. Migliorabili anche le tabelle dati. Sono personali punti di vista, overall ottimo strumento.

### "Handy"

December 31, 2022

5.0

Pros

I'd describe it as a "live notebook", it's quite the handy-dandy little software. We can work together in real time, no matter where we're actually sitting. The highlight is the versatility, use it for anything from tasks to schedules to whiteboards.

Cons

The mobile app could use some sprucing up. Otherwise, no complaints.

### "An online shared "big sheet of paper" to be creative and have fun"

March 8, 2020

4.0

I love the funny design, support and functionality of Dropbox Paper. It becomes a tool, I can not imagine to work without.

Pros

I have got a great experience using this tool. I love the shorcuts, which help me to work more efficiently and creatively there. I love the way how its automatically connected with my business Dropbox. The easiness and fluidity of sharing and collaborating with colleagues from another country is a pure magic.

Cons

Sometimes, I am getting lost in my Paper files. Probably I just need to learn more about organizing them in Dropbox Paper. So, there is some learning curve for sure.

### "Aesthetically Pleasing Design"

November 6, 2019

4.0

Dropbox paper is super easy to learn to navigate and use. With all of the choices available to you, you can make some pretty aesthetically-pleasing documents! If the people you'll be sharing with appreciate that sort of thing, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Pros

One of the greatest things about Dropbox Paper is that it gives you the freedom to design your documents precisely the way you want. As a result, you can make some very stunning documents!

Cons

Since a lot of the people I was sharing the documents with preferred how easy it was to use Google Docs instead, I didn't end up using it as frequently as I would have preferred.

March 10, 2021

Pros

1\. Easy to sync up the file with cloud, so working with team members they will view updated version of that file. 2. Even though we deleted some of our files accidentally, we can retrieve it back with help of version saved in dates.

### "Dropbox for cloud storage"

July 31, 2019

I have been using dropbox for a while now and it's quite interesting, am good with the 2gb free storage.

Pros

One of the best cloud storage I have used. It has greatly reduced my paper works. I have access to my data anywhere, anytime.

Cons

Dropbox is quite expensive to run because of the cost of data. working on those file on the cloud and saving it again cost much

### "Web based docs alternative, but not ready for mass collaboration"

December 26, 2022

4.0

Pros

The idea of having yet another, private docs alternative. The UI is invisible (in a good way).

Cons

The paper docs can't be opened from the client, but have to open a new web tab beats the purpose of "synching" documents.

### "Similar to Google docs"

July 19, 2019

4.0

Pros

The collaboration capabilities are better here than through Google. Dropbox Paper makes it easier to collaborate by showing the user where each person has edited and added content.

Cons

It is a little confusing when it comes to adding new documents and renaming them. Whenever I thought I renamed a document or a link, the changes would not save. It’s a little confusing, and it’s something they can definitely improve on to make more clear to users.

### ""The best way to collaborate!""

July 29, 2021

In Buisness Dropbox project is very important. It can create timeline with project milestones. It can also preview the Dropbox files.

Pros

Dropbox is a great tool for storing data, especially the smart synced ones. Another advantage is that it is integrated with Dropbox, so no need to worry about file conversion

Cons

One of the main problems with Dropbox Paper is that it requires formatting. Most of the works I do needs to make sure that the formatting is correct.
