Paper by Dropbox

Decent substitute for Google Docs. I would love to be able to ditch Google Keep as well and completely switch over to Paper but I miss the ability to pin notes. Would also love if there was the ability to collapse list items as needed.

It’s a good app. Not much in the way of customization or formatting like aligning text in a table which seems like it could be added pretty simply. But has, always had, a lot of potential. With iOS 13 coming out a few days ago, all the major apps are releasing decent sized updates for their apps. But Dropbox Paper’s update? Just a new sticker set. That’s all. Being a productivity app, an update that is only a sticker set, seems like they pushed an update just to push one out. I don’t think any user of D. Paper was concerned with whether we would have a new sticker set soon. I like Dropbox Paper, I just would like to see some more attention given to it. So much potential in it. Just constantly odd developer choices.

I am unable to use the timeline to create schedules. Scrolling the timeline will jump forward years. If I’m not doing something right, how about a video tutorial on how to use it. I first tried Paper during its initial days. It was terrible. I just downloaded this app to see if it’s gotten any better and I was very impressed at first. I feel like this may be exactly what my team is looking for. Then...I tried to use the timeline. It would scroll forward a bunch of years , doesn’t let me edit the name of the task on the timeline, I can’t make new tasks. I had to watch a video on timeline just to see how it’s actually supposed to work because I didn’t think I was doing it right. I see other people are having issues with it too. Please fix this.

I absolutely love this as a writing app! The interface is incredibly easy to use and the way it appears on the screen is nice for blocking out other distractions. It’s also 100% effective at capturing offline work and seamlessly integrating to the cloud once you’re back online. I rarely use for collaborative work. But this is indispensable to me at this point. I wish they’d develop features similar to scrivener for outlining as well!

I’m a cinematographer and Paper really allows me to build collaborative project sheets. I can add camera lists, lighting lists, storyboards, outlines and mood boards very quickly. After I share the doc with my department heads and producers, they can comment and edit. It’s fast, intuitive, it looks good....and it makes me look good.
