Launched in 2016, Dropbox Paper is the company’s first foray into cloud-based document


team working. The service focuses on the easy creation of rich text documents followed by


collaboration and sharing of that content.


Dropbox Paper offers a lot more than just creating a base document to share with others. Thanks to its design, you’re
able to achieve some interesting results.

How to Use Dropbox Paper


You can find the link to Paper listed in the
Dropbox sidebar, between Files and Sharing.
Clicking it will take you to the Paper launch
page, where you’re able to choose a New Document or one of
the predefined templates.


    STEP    

The Getting Started document, located to
the left of the templates, is an excellent place
to begin. It outlines the basics and use of
Dropbox Paper, as well as how to embed content and make it
discoverable with other users and use any collaborations you’ve
set up.


    STEP    

Moving  back    to  the main    Paper   launch  page,
click on the Create New Doc button located on
the far right of the page. The first task when
creating a new Paper document is to give it a title, you can do
so in the labelled text box provided.

    STEP    

You can of  course  simply  write   directly    into    a
new Paper document. However, the service
offers a lot more in terms of rich content. After
coming up with a title click on the area below, in particular, the
plus sign. This will stretch out a list of available content icons:
Image, Dropbox, Table and so on.
