What do you like best about Dropbox Paper?

The synchronization is very reliable, whereas other cloud storage services or not that reliable. Easy to use with connected devices and very easy to collaborate with colleagues on the same file Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox Paper?

The limited free storage, the costs become very high. It also can operate offline, but works better with access to the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dropbox Paper solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had storage problems and accessibility problems, we choose to work with dropbox so we could still access our files when a device was forgotten in the office or lost. Also we do not have to think about storage problems anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dropbox Paper?

Dropbox Paper feels like that easygoing, creative partner who’s always reliable and never tries to steal the show. Everything about it is seamless—real-time collaboration works like a charm, the interface is tidy and inviting, and everything runs without a hitch. I can effortlessly add videos, images, to-do lists, even Spotify playlists (yes, really)—and my team can dive in instantly, no snags. No mess. No stress. Just smooth, focused productivity. It’s an ideal space for creatives, producers, academics, or anyone tired of clunky, outdated docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox Paper?

Can we take a moment to talk about the not-so-great export options? When I need to send something polished to a client, it doesn’t quite deliver. And offline editing? Still missing in action. The clean, minimalist design is great for staying focused, but now and then, I wouldn’t mind some bold font choices or a touch of layout flair. A little creative sparkle now and then wouldn’t hurt, right? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dropbox Paper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dropbox Paper takes the hassle out of collaboration. Instead of juggling a dozen tools or messy email threads, everything lives in one clean, shared space. I can brainstorm, assign tasks, drop in media, and get feedback—all without switching tabs. It keeps projects moving smoothly, reduces miscommunication, and helps my team stay aligned without the usual friction. It makes working together way easier and way more productive.

What do you like best about Dropbox Paper?

Dropbox paper makes it easy to find the docs you need for each meeting. Don’t have a meeting agenda yet? Use Paper’s smart templates to create one and its very easy to use and it also let you add comments to a specific part of an image, attributions .

It’s a great tool for ad-hoc, informal, collaborative on-line documents, especially ones which change frequently.

Dropbox Paper is a brilliant cross over between Medium and Google Docs. The same way Slack can be seen as cross over between IRC and Chat messengers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox Paper?

In Dropbox Paper almost everything else is that they are stuck into an old-school hierarchy for storing data. They are based on files and folders. Evernote is based on notes & notebooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dropbox Paper:

It also works well with a lot of social networking website that I love, like YouTube and Pinterest.

Dropbox faces is that it’s entering this space at a time when bazillions of people:

a) are happily accustomed to using Google Docs, and

b) have reached their limit of new apps and products that they’re interested in using for this type of use case.

Dropbox Paper is a brilliant cross over between Medium and Google Docs. The same way Slack can be seen as cross over between IRC and Chat messengers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dropbox Paper solving and how is that benefiting you?

It doesn’t have anything like the control over formatting or pagination needed for a document you intend to publish.

Dropbox Paper is a brilliant cross over between Medium and Google Docs. The same way Slack can be seen as cross over between IRC and Chat messengers.

One font. No paragraph styles. No headers or footers. No section or multi-level paragraph numbers. No cross-references. no indexes or TOCs. No diagrams, just images. Want a border around your image? Forget it. It may be OK for simple memos, but that’s about it. But then it’s surely not intended for serious paginated documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dropbox Paper?

Dropbox is easy to share documents with users in a team - even (especially) if the team is made up of users from multiple organizations. Have tried using similar sharing apps but it is very cumbersome and convoluted to get outside organizations set up to share. Dropbox makes it easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox Paper?

it is still just another place to have to go look for shared documents. Even if it is integrated into the File Directory function of windows, it just adds another place to look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy to share with other external organizations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
