(1-4 of 4)A promising tool with a great future ahead.
- Integrate & embed multiple media types, for example, youtube links, Spotify, dropbox content or Vimeo & many others.
- For collaboration, the pointers with names showing who is working on the doc amongst your team or names written against the content created by different team members are super useful.
- It's simply easy to use with quick access to available tools & page continuity makes it a lightweight and useful tool.
- Its presentation capabilities can definitely be improved, including how page-by-page presentation is to be done & how aspect ratios are maintained for different resolutions.
- More flexibility in text editing would be a great addition to the text editing functionality, for example, additional fonts would be a nice thing to have.
- Introducing additional to-do list software capabilities or task management functionality would enhance the software greatly as well.
- Content creation & keeping track of the important materials used in the content by bringing everything together in one place.
- Sharing content, collaborating & collecting inputs of multiple people with clear transparency into the contributor or contributed content.
- Easy access from anywhere and anytime to anything that's created and managed on Paper is one of the core advantages.
- The biggest contribution is the time saved and indirectly, the finances saved due to the efficiency of the content creation and management process.
- Building high-quality products by performing better collaboration on the research done, and discussed, definitely impacts the investment done on the product.
- Saving cost on the data storage of Paper content is another benefit as this content is not part of the data storage quota.
- With Dropbox Paper, I can insert images and videos into your document, to make the document more visual, which is helpful for creating newsletters and simple flyers.
- Once you create a document, you can save it as a template to be reused as a starting point for creating new documents.
- Dropbox Paper has some basic formatting features like bolding text, adding links, and creating H1 and H2 headings.
- You can insert tables into your Dropbox Paper document
- Dropbox Paper also has an unusual but helpful feature, and that is the time line feature.
- Dropbox Paper has very basic formatting features. However, it would be helpful, if I could change the text color and have more options for changing text size.
- It would be helpful if I could upload a video from my computer. Currently you can only embed a video from youtube, Google Drive, and other third party applications.
- I wish Dropbox Paper came with some preset templates to get you started with creating documents. It would be great if there was a meeting note template and a newsletter template
