Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Dropbox Paper is awesome. I like that we can all collaborate in one single place at the same time and use this tool to increase our productivity and increase collaboration. Dropbox Paper is a solution that allows me to create files inside the Dropbox application and write on them as I would do on my local writing solution, but the difference is that all team members on a project can participate on it and work simultaneously on the same file. This tool is great for every step of a project, from the starting phase where we have to brainstorm ideas and everyone can input their research, to the final phase where we have to do our final edits of a file, it is a smart solution where my team members can do their tasks without needing editing permissions every time and without wasting time keeping up with emails of new versions of a file. Dropbox Paper allows for multiple additions of multimedia, such as Youtube links, videos, embedded images, and more, which makes the brainstorming stage so much easier to get through when we have a visual addition to all our ideas and it can positively impact our final decisions towards a project. I like that Dropbox Paper has multiple tools that track the stages of a project such as creating due dates for files and creating to-do lists for different documents, this makes it so easy for everyone to know what to do and when certain things are due. This software has a great and simple platform that makes the creation of documents so simple without all the cluttered tools that other softwares have, and I can see who’s working on certain parts of a project thanks to the identifier pointer that tells me when someone is working on the same document as me.
  • Helps to share information and organize ideas more easily if you and your colleagues are using Dropbox often already.
  • -comes for free with Dropbox -great for online meeting notes, collaborative design and/or planning sessions -integrated as its own document format in the Dropbox interface -great for media integration/presentation -allows the creation of templates to start from
  • Dropbox Paper is a cloud-based data system that makes collaboration easy. You can create, sketch and share anything from a quick task list to item specifications, marketing materials and legal files. Your records are dynamic and you can also track changes, as well as view previous variations.
  • Dropbox Paper has a very clean interface. It is also a very simple item in general, which is not hindered by many unnecessary attributes. The files developed on Dropbox Paper are quite impressive too, as you can quickly add / edit messages, leave comments, add tables, photos and also install various other media. The interface is not crowded and well thought out, ensuring that you can focus on your content.

Cons

  • There are many dislikes that I have towards Dropbox Paper, which are the following: -Because of the simplicity, Dropbox Paper feels quite limited and falls short in the variability of fonts and more editing tools that are not available in this solution. This often causes huge disadvantages when we are working on more extensive and not simple documents because we don’t have much control about the text colors or the text sizes because Dropbox Paper doesn’t offer much tools and we have to make do with the basic ones. -Dropbox Paper does not have a spell check tool, and it is a huge dislike for me as it means that we have to do the spelling check in a third-party application after we’re finished with a document, which honestly seems like an unnecessary step because most collaborative tools have this feature already, but Dropbox Paper is still lacking on this. -They could improve the to-do lists tool to have a more arranged and general view of all the things that we have to do instead of only having it assigned to one member, right now this feature feels limited and I would like to have more control and customization around it.
  • It isn't as widely used as Google Docs, so it may not be as easy to share docs.
  • -a confusing concept, not well marketed/documented -does not seem to evolve further -limited use cases
  • It can often be challenging to see which friend on the team added which sections / edits. Small member editions can go unnoticed. Much more considerable editions, however, are attributed to the individual who made them.
  • Nothing really, it's a big improvement for the Dropbox family of products. The only concern is probably the lack of control over email alerts. It certainly would have been wonderful if they allowed users to send e-mail alerts to all customers about the document after it was actually edited. This would certainly indicate to several other customers that the registry is ready to receive your information.
