A promising tool with a great future ahead.
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.
- 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.
Paper is a good option for those people looking for a lightweight content creation & collaboration tool & especially if you are already using dropbox. However, all the capabilities that Paper has are not so powerful in-depth of flexibility & range of functionality, for example, for to-do lists or task management there are many other better options out there.
Dropbox Paper allows me to quickly create and share formatted documents without having to download a program to my computer. I can also use Dropbox paper to collaborate with others. This is especially helpful when building long internal newsletters, where one or more departments are contributing to the document.
- 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
- Easy collaboration
- Simple and easy to use
- Simple formatting features
- Ability to insert media - images and videos into the Dropbox Paper document.
- Limited formatting features, yields less visually dynamic documents.
- Difficult to create organizations branded documents, since you can't change font family or color.
- Lack of preset templates, makes it take longer to create documents.
- Google Drive and Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued)
Dropbox Paper is a good choice for creating very simply formatted documents. Google Docs and Microsoft Word allow you to create documents with a wealth of features and formatting options. Goole Docs is great for collaborating and document sharing with others. Microsoft has the most robust features for document creation.

You pay and it works!
Dropbox Paper is an excellent product for creating documents that can be easily shared and edited by a team working together. This is something that is necessary for our team, like so many, who are spread out geographically and across time zones. We are regularly creating applications, reports, job descriptions, etc. that need to be accessible. Being able to create simultaneously is something that has been invaluable for us.
- Intuitive design
- Glitch-free reliability
- Quality customer service
- Fairly expensive
- Limited storage capacity
- Without the benefit of a larger backdrop ecosystem, like Google
- Instant Delivery of large-sized documents
- Customizable options
- Information security
- We have had the positive impact of greater efficiency!
- We have had the negative impact of higher bills
- We have had the positive impact of well organized document cloud storage
We use Dropbox Paper as templates for documents within our company. By bringing up each template we created we have a way to always use the documents we need and Dropbox Paper gives an easy experience. One of the ways we use Paper, is for a filming guide so our Directors know what they are filming and how, and we have a template that allows us to just change the company information each time we need a new document created.

- Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), Apple iWork and Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
Having tried all the other document suites from Google, Apple and Microsoft; I can say that Dropbox Paper is the easiest for template creation and management and being able to create documents the fastest. But as someone who is embroiled in another ecosystem, you will get almost the same feature set using another Office Suite. Dropbox Paper is still just another text editor/word processing application that has danced features tailored towards business needs.
