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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This is an amazing tool in keeping notes and documents at your fingertips! Easy to use, easy to add sections & pages, love this tool to keep notes and stay organized!
  • - It is an easy-to-use tool that helps tremendously in organizing notes. - It has useful tools that fulfill the requirements for both personal and professional use. - Different sections can be created to organize and separate the notes. - The user interface of the application is fluid to use because of the animation and looks pleasing to the eyes. - It autosaves the notes, which is lifesaver features in times when the system shuts down abruptly.
  • I can sync my notes on my PC and access them on my phone very quickly and easily. Creating notes with images and links is fun and works well. Best of all it syncs to OneDrive to access all your PC files on your phone.
  • Syncs between devices. Works great with keyboards, styluses, and finger inputs. Many drawing options. Can add images, audio, documents.
  • Our organization is using OneNote to manage employee documents in a secure and organized manner. It is beneficial for saving the data and images on a secured office 365 cloud. We can create a customize graphical dashboard to manage and analyze the activities. We can save the data by adding multiple specific tabs with their titles. We can share the data/files across the organization. - Great application for documentation - Customizable graphical dashboard to analyze the progress/records. - Data saving and sharing feature. - Searching capability is incredible. - We can create the slides for representation - Friendly user interface and easy to use. - Open-source application - Cross-platform and highly secured Office 365 tool - Mobile version

Cons

  • No cons that I can think of honestly. I love this tool!
  • - It limits the user in terms of integration, as it does not support third-party integration with many applications other than Microsoft's applications.
  • Sometimes syncing can be slow and there are not enough sharing options like other note-taking apps.
  • File size can get large. There is a bug (?) on android where typing with a keyboard does not allow you to use ctrl+b, ctrl+i, ctrl+u, ctrl+arrow left or right and other common shortcuts. I can't fathom why!!
  • Nothing to dislike with OneNote. Everything is working fine for me. I love this product.
