A promising tool with a great future ahead.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Dropbox paper is used to create documents with multiple types of content in one place, on which our team can collaborate & present. For example, when working on brainstorming ideas for our innovative products or solutions all team members bring research materials & ideas in one place, on Paper, and work on them collaboratively.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
When collaborating with a team on content creation with the purpose of bringing multiple inputs in a nonstructured or nonfixed media type, this is a great choice because of its diversity of content and collaboration tools, however, if you are looking to have high flexibility in a particular content creation stream, for example, sophisticated text editing or presentation, there are a lot of strong competitors out there.
