Dropbox Paper

Paper is a good option for those people looking for a lightweight content creation & collaboration tool & especially if you are already using dropbox. However, all the capabilities that Paper has are not so powerful in-depth of flexibility & range of functionality, for example, for to-do lists or task management there are many other better options out there.

Very similar for collaboration, however, Dropbox Paper has more features for the types of documents you can create vs Quip or monday.com.

We briefly tried Prezi, but in all honesty DropBox Paper won out for us simply because it lets you use and integrate so many different media types all together into one project. I know that there are a few features that others really liked about Prezi but for the group as a whole we need the ability to use mixed medias.

Dropbox Paper is very lightweight and cost-effective compared to competitors. Implementation is straightforward and their support is fast and effective. They have better document management, sharing, and organising capabilities however, their UI and experience are not as good as Google Workspace and some other competitors out in the market.

Dropbox Paper is a good choice for creating very simply formatted documents. Google Docs and Microsoft Word allow you to create documents with a wealth of features and formatting options. Goole Docs is great for collaborating and document sharing with others. Microsoft has the most robust features for document creation.

I was not part of the decision making to acquire the Dropbox tool against any of the other options and competitors. However, I can assume that the fact that we have been using Dropbox File Management for many years and many important files are stored and shared in the tool everyday, the adding of Dropbox Paper should have been felt very natural.

Having tried all the other document suites from Google, Apple and Microsoft; I can say that Dropbox Paper is the easiest for template creation and management and being able to create documents the fastest. But as someone who is embroiled in another ecosystem, you will get almost the same feature set using another Office Suite. Dropbox Paper is still just another text editor/word processing application that has danced features tailored towards business needs.
