Good experience

Reviewed a year ago

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.

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

Versatile real-time collaboration tool

Reviewed a year ago

We use Dropbox paper when we need input from different team members working from home. We can share a task and work from the same platform to achieve a common goal. Dropbox Paper has a simple user interface so everyone gets started in the right direction. Everyone can see what is happening on the paper regardless of their location. However, internet connection problems stops everything. I also think it is relatively expensive.

Pros

Dropbox paper allows team members to complete tasks from different locations. It stands out because everyone can perform a task which will reflect immediately on the platform. You can add text, files, or images required to complete a task. You can use files stored in your PC or Dropbox and it will reflect almost instantly especially if you have a reliable internet connection. It allows users to comment, share opinion, or leave feedback minimizing the need to hold online meetings, call, or send emails to each other.

Cons

If you lose internet connection sometimes it takes time to start responding. I usually have to reload it to enjoy real-time activities. It has limited formatting features but offers better collaboration functions. The pricing could hinder potential clients.

Simple, sometimes too much

Reviewed 4 years ago

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.

Superb note-taking tool

Reviewed 5 years ago

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.

DropBox Review

Reviewed 5 years ago

It does a good job at storing all items that you may need in one location that is easily accessible.

Pros

This allows me to upload documents, pictures, etc into one location. I can then access this software from a phone, desktop computer, laptop, iPad, etc to gain access and use that document, picture, etc.

Cons

It only has a set storage limit and then you have to pay for upgrades. I thought the upgrades were too expensive.

I really like how the software allows you to do automatic updates. This saves so much valueable time because the files I selected are set up to automatically back up even while I am running other programs.

Cons

I do not like the size limits for the value.

Sometimes less is more

Reviewed 4 years ago

I really like Paper but I'm conflicted. I want it to do more and look prettier, but at the same time I love that it s fast and easy to build and share a quick presentation or portfolio. If it did more it would be harder to use and probably cost more. Right now it does what I need.

Pros

Paper is quick to use, easy to learn and easy to share.

Cons

Pages are not very pretty and formatting is very limited. Support is non-existent.
