The other big let-down is that it doesn’t allow users to club notes under different folders in the Paper app on your phone like Evernote does, or change the layout style like Google Keep. Also, there is no button to delete a note, which means you can’t get rid of notes you don’t need any more. So one can check a note offline, but for taking a note or editing a file, the user’s phone should be connected to a Wi-Fi network or mobile data. One of the big limitations of Paper is that it works online at the moment.

This feature also allows users to chat with each other while working on a document. The changes made by anyone in a document can be seen by others right away. This allows users to share and work on a document along with multiple people. Like Evernote you can also access your notes on both smartphone and desktop browsers. One can add collaborators by adding their user email configured on Dropbox. The big highlight is that it allows users to share their notes with other Paper users over Dropbox so they can work jointly over a note. Users can also click a picture and embed it in a note or pick an existing one from the photo gallery on the phone without navigating away from the app. The other way to access your favourite docs quickly is by tapping on the star icon which will move the note to the favourite section. It will filter and show only those notes with the keyword typed in the search bar. To search for a note, you can scroll through the list or type the related keyword in the search tab in the notes page.

The first category shows notes sent to the user for collaboration, the second shows all the notes created by the user, the third shows the user’s notes marked as favourite and the last one shows the app settings. The top of the page shows four categories. In case you don’t have a Dropbox app but have a Dropbox account, you can still log in using Dropbox’s username and password.ĭropbox Paper app has a clean layout. So if you have a Dropbox app on your phone, you can log in directly into Paper Beta through Dropbox. The app is closely integrated with Dropbox cloud storage.
