August 11, 2019

4.0

Pros

\- Easy to quickly create content for collaboration - Global todo lists make it easy to find tasks assigned to you anywhere in one place - Offers templates to make it easier to re-use content

### "Very useful platform to exchange documents"

October 4, 2019

5.0

We need to collect permits from several instances and share all the documents in Dropbox. It is very convenient when you have folders for each event, you can keep track of deadlines, stages of task completion, etc.

Pros

We use it to prepare and share document for fireworks show and other event. It's easy to attach a document and anyone else who has access to the folder for this event can see it and to know what happens.

Cons

Sometimes it is not so easy to reach and to see document from phone, but this is not do big problem.

### "Dropbox is the best cloud storage services ever!"

September 3, 2019

4.0

Dropbox is a professional solution in B2B business. Cloud storage is no longer a problem for me.

Pros

It has a fast synchronization that allows me to send videos easily with my clients.

Cons

It is the most expensive tool in the market and its learning curve is slow.

### "One of the most beautiful writing experiences on the web"

December 4, 2019

5.0

I've enjoyed creating in Dropbox Paper. Its also made collaboration easy.

Pros

The design of Dropbox Paper is phenomenal. The copy editor gets out of the way, allowing you to focus on actually creating. And then it has plenty of power at the ready when needed.

Cons

When compared with the fuller featured Google Documents/Good Drive Suite, it can feel lacking when it comes to power features. Depending on your use, it can be too light.

### "Great copycat product"

August 19, 2020

2.0

It's great but with so much of our team relying on G Drive for document management, it's really unnecesary for us to move 100% to dropbox paper. I think Dropbox could really have a homerun for video content creators if they expanded the review / notes features and added screener link capability.

Pros

It's very functional and it's built into dropbox which we use daily. We are always looking for ways to cut down on service bulk. This would eliminate one or two other services.

Cons

No one really uses this product heavily in our market. I can see how it works as an in-house internal product but the world as a whole isn't really ready to leave Google Drive which is also tied into our email system.

### "Good for editing and sharing docs"

June 30, 2021

5.0

I generally use paper for simole everyday tasks such as doing lisys and it has been very helpful.

Pros

What I like most about dropbox paper is that it helps you focus on writing without too many distractions. I also like that you can connect your account eith other devices for easy access and sharing documents.

Cons

In as much as the app is simple sometimes the features limit you when you want to do some formatting.

### "Dropbox Paper: an alternative to Google Docs and MS Word, if you like Medium approach"

August 15, 2023

4.0

I had a good experience with Dropbox Paper in general, when I had the need to find something similar to Medium's approach to text editing: simple, no trills, very good looking.

Pros

The ease of use is incredible. Just like Medium, all you have to do is start writing. No technicalities, no experience required using word processors.

Cons

Maybe Dropbox Paper is not the right choice if you are looking for a tool with plenty of options and solutions.

### "Easy to Use Collaborative Document"

July 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

While designed for collaboration, Dropbox paper is also perfect for individual use. You can add many types of files to Paper. You can also transform your documents into presentations.

Cons

It lacks the database creation like Notion.

### "Perfect for minimalists!"

January 7, 2020

4.0

Great collaboration tool for users who simply want to work together on a text editing platform or users who want to brainstorm or take notes. It has limited functionalities for those who want to input a lot of their own design or creative ideas or want to insert a lot of images/tables/charts.

Pros

\- Very clean and simple interface. There is not cluttering of tools which can be overwhelming for some so I can see how this would be perfect for minimalists. - Integrates well with Dropbox so if you store files there, it is a great way to integrate this into it too - Allows users to work on a document together - Works well on phones, laptops, tablets etc.

Cons

\- Limited formatting options (H1, H2, H3 and then just bold, italic and underline) - Difficult to resize and move pictures around freely

### "Great program"

September 27, 2019

5.0

I like that I can save something in here and it doesn't go away. I can sign in to dropbox from anywhere and see what I have and then share with whomever I want.

Pros

This program is good for sharing with others. You can share folders with different people and they can share with you. I have shared graphics, songs and papers.

Cons

The program is good and I haven't found anything that I don't like. It has been a good program for me and my family to use

### "Interactive documents "

July 28, 2021

5.0

I like being able to bring my documents to life. Much less boring than plain old word processors.

Pros

We can create documents that are interactive and it adds a whole new level to word documents.

Cons

I wish it had more features like Microsoft Word. But it does ok with the basics.

[Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/)[Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/)

Reason for choosing Dropbox Paper

Much more simpler and we already have lots of documents saved to Dropbox.

### "Simple and Quick Collaborative Document Editor"

July 19, 2019

4.0

Pros

If you need to create a quick document to collaborate with others, Dropbox Paper is one of your best options. It’s simple to use and supports various kinds of content, LaTex, and Markdown. It also integrates with various services.

Cons

It lacks integration with grammar and spell checker tools. So you need to do it on third-party services. Fon’t usage is also non-customizable.

### "Documents and Data cloud storage"

October 27, 2020

5.0

Pros

It makes it easy to make backups for all my research data and also share it with other lab members.

Cons

The preview option needs optimization as when I try to view a document the image resolution is low in my opinion.

### "Good for Collaboration"

August 25, 2020

4.0

I used this app whenever a new idea for a chapter arrived and sent it to my friend to edit, he got an email alert instantly and it went back and forth like that for a while.

Pros

It was offered through my drop-box account which was free. I signed up for the trial and forgot about it renewing. So I kept using it and was able to collaborate with a good friend of mine on a graphic novel project over long distance. It is amazing how in this age, that you can work virtually from everywhere and this program was a big help with producing and editing content in a matter of days.

Cons

You must have an account with those whom you are communicating with. So after that is set up then you are good, however it is impossible to double sign in under the same account.

### "Nothing special, but some security issues"

March 8, 2024

4.0

Pros

It’s ease of use to collaborate with others on the same project

Cons

If a link is shared but not as an invite to join, anyone who comes across that link can view the material just can’t edit or download. I think for security they should send a one time passkey to get into the folder at all.

### "Great additional tool from the Dropbox toolbox"

August 26, 2019

5.0

Working with editors on a text during the later stages of a translation is were Paper really shines for me. You can quickly agree on edits and save time explaining things in chat windows.

Pros

First, I love that it is free. It's the perfect format to integrate files and collaborate with other translators. Seeing changes done in real time just never gets old to me. Works great on Windows 10 and I was surprised by how well the Android version handles itself. There, all the files and text within you current project is just one long smooth scroll away.

Cons

For Android, I would really like the option of zooming in and out with my usual hand motions. The scrolling is very nicely done but sometimes I would just like to focus more on 1 part.

Dropbox paper is a workspace for sharing documents with team members

Pros

Dropbox paper helps to share files and documents and also we can be able to write or edit them, it is mainly used fully in teamwork where there is a need of sharing documents with the team members, and it offers more storage for free of cost.

Cons

Compared to computers/laptops dropbox paper provides only limited features to the smartphones and it have only limited number of exporting options for documents.

### "Simple File Sharing and Editing"

August 12, 2019

4.0

Dropbox Paper has certainly helped me to solve key issues in our organisation - that is the problem of needing to have multiple people working on a file. Dropbox Paper provides this solution in an incredibly concise easy to use way.

Pros

Dropbox Paper is a great product as it allowed me to share files that need to be worked on with my fellow organisation members, allowing us all to contribute with no problems, without the worry of needing to email it around, merge edits or potential file corruption.

Cons

Sadly there are far less formatting features compared to products like Microsoft Word - which is fine for heavy text based projects (like plans) but not great for documents that need visual appeal.
