About this app

Dropbox Paper is a collaborative workspace that helps teams create and share early ideas. You can work with everything from video and images, to code and sound—all in a single place. And it comes free with Dropbox.

CREATE & SHARE EARLY IDEAS
Create new docs or edit existing ones, and share them with your team right from the app, so you can capture inspiration wherever you are.

KEEP PROJECTS MOVING
Post and reply to comments, so you can keep projects moving forward even if you’re not at your desk.

CATCH UP IN ONE PLACE
See everything that’s incoming from your team—like comments, shares, and @mentions—so you can catch up while on the go.

STAY IN FLOW, OFFLINE
No internet connection? You can still access, edit, and comment on your starred and recent docs—or create new docs—while offline, to keep the ideas flowing.

Ratings and reviews

If you're working on small documents or just need to jot down some notes, Dropbox Paper works fine. However, once your documents become even a little bit larger, the app is unusable. Frequent freezes, lag, and crashes disallow users from doing anything of substance with Dropbox Paper. In general, I would recommend using something else.

I used it for a quick note taking app, as well as managing some to-do lists and shopping lists. It worked fine. Biggest issue was that formatting wasn't great and copy/paste worked a bit strange with the to-do list icons, but it worked well enough. Now recently, it just won't open any of my documents. I just get a spinning loading sign. These aren't shared docs or anything so it's bonkers that my simple use case is broken. I'll be finding a new solution.

Needs UX design update. Notes need to show more than just the first few words. they need to show tye title in bood and two lines ot text underneath, just like in Evernote. It's too hard to search and find the noteni want. Also, taking photos is too painful, you have to wait about 30 seconds to upload, and if you switch context, the upload is stopped, and boila, you just lost your photo. Please, make this better. I'll gladly pay for subscription if Dropbox Paper app improves.
