Very helpful while working from home!

Reviewed 4 years ago

Helped tremendously while our staff was working remotely and in/out of the office constantly.

Pros

This has been very helpful during the pandemic while people were working remotely and in office. Helps to keep all administration organized and in the loop!

Cons

I cannot think of any cons. Maybe it could be more user friendly for those not so tech savvy, but I generally found it easy to navigate.

One of the most beautiful writing experiences on the web

Reviewed 5 years ago

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.

Buona estensione di Dropbox

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Il software è versatilissimo e molto intuitivo nelle funzioni base. Mi piace molto la facilità di inserimento dei link, la possibilità di visualizzare le anteprime e la semplicità nel mettere ordine all'interno del file. Molto utile la funzione che permette di inserire una cronologia di eventi molto Chiara. Ottima anche la modalità presentazione per visualizzare i contenuti in maniera statica.

Cons

Non è molto semplice creare dei contenuti belli esteticamente, bisogna saperci smanettare. L'applicativo inoltre non è molto conosciuto dunque la mancanza di diffusione rende difficile la condivisione di file attraverso il circuito interno al software.

Review for Dropbox Paper

Reviewed 4 years ago

This program solves the problem of coordination of work and cooperation in the team. It facilitates the work and speeds it up, which is extremely useful for those who work in a team.

Pros

Excellent service and solution for teamwork on some projects. It gives the opportunity for everyone on the team to work from their computer on one document, everyone sees the changes, can comment and can be made to-do lists with tasks. I especially like the ability of this program to integrate with many other programs and application. The program is very easy to use.

Cons

For me there is nothing to dislike in this functional and simple program that makes work easier. Maybe they should insert a grammar and spelling section so you don't make mistakes when writing.

Simple and Quick Collaborative Document Editor

Reviewed 5 years ago
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.

Dropbox, la maravilla del almacenamiento

Reviewed a year ago

Siempre lo había usado a nivel usuario y he estado muy contento con ello, pero a la hora de comunicar con otros proyectos si que es verdad que puede haber otros soportes que igualan su utilidad

Pros

La posibilidad de tener datos en la nube y poder consultarlo en tiempo real, a la hora de gestionar proyectos en tiempo real viene bastante bien

Cons

Tenemos varios soportes para ello que van igual que la utilidad que da dropbox y no estamos muy descontentos con ellos

You can use to just write, plan, and organize.

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall, it's a pretty nice integration from Dropbox which is worth a try.

Pros

One of my favorite sources is the ability to pull images and videos from a variety of sources which makes writing less tedious. That's one really cool feature that I like about Dropbox paper. Also, the ability to insert calendar, to do list, pictures, etc. makes it a proper planning tool with functionalities that extend beyond just writing.

Cons

I think it's limited in terms of formats you can export your text documents to for storage, usage, and sharing unlike something like Google docs. And the app is not that responsive if you access it from a mobile browser, though the Android app works better.

Simple File Sharing and Editing

Reviewed 5 years ago

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.

Not great, barely usable

Reviewed 4 years ago

When Dropbox a pioneer in cloud saving personal files brings up a cloud based office application you have high expectations. But in this case it falls flat. This is the poor man's version of Google Docs or Microsoft 365 except that both have a free version. There is no big upside except from the fact that it is well integrated into Dropbox. The formatting sucks, the interface is bare bones and 20 years old (!) and all of this is put together in a light and flaky web interface. Pretty poor job !!

Pros

Well integrated with Dropbox Extensive support for rich media Minimal user interface Freeware & cloud based Cross platform compatible

Cons

No fixed formatting bar Needs a lot of learning Features and options are minimal = 2 decades old

Great Cloud Storage Product

Reviewed 4 years ago

I enjoy using it, especially for editing my legal documents before saving and sharing them with the courts. Also I have created some great documents for my Affiliate Marketing ventures, and Dropbox Paper made it easy to accomplish these task.

Pros

I do a lot of different task, also side projects, all on a lap top with limited storage space and capability. With Dropbox paper I can edit and share also save in an easy to use platform. Also keep track of multiple of different documents after editing them on Dropbox Paper,

Cons

The only issue was that I was unsure what exactly this app was because it came pre-installed on my HP lap top.
