Interactive documents

Reviewed 3 years ago

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.

Very useful platform to exchange documents

Reviewed 5 years ago

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.

Good for editing and sharing docs

Reviewed 3 years ago

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.

Perfect for minimalists!

Reviewed 5 years ago

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

Reviewed 5 years ago

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

Good for Collaboration

Reviewed 4 years ago

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.

Great additional tool from the Dropbox toolbox

Reviewed 5 years ago

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.

Really enjoy using this for collaborating. Saves instantly and allows your team to work in one place.
