    Its currently in close beta. 

    If you are part of the beta you will be able to install it via a pop up on screen when you go to http://paper.dropbox.com

Hey anvdasa, kindly note that Daphne has now left the office for the day, however I moved your post under this thread, as it’s my understanding that you were pinging her back regarding this discussion; please correct me if I’m wrong. 
 
We're glad to hear you are interested in our new project! Our team is currently in the process of experimenting with new features in order to build the best Paper experience for all our users. That said, let me briefly confirm what has already been mentioned above, as the Paper Desktop application is currently in a closed testing period & you'll definitely hear more about it once we open up the testing.
 
In the meantime, thanks for using Dropbox Paper & taking the time to drop us a line on the Dropbox Community!

    Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm anvdasa! Stay tuned- while I have no other info to share on how this will surface when we open up the testing, rest assured that we’ll notify you of the availability (i.e. it’s usually via email or Notification). Cheers!

      Hi @Jane,

      Ex-Dropbox designer here. Would you mind adding me to the Paper Desktop App beta? 

      Thanks a bunch. 

      Best, 
      Philipp

        Hey there Fipo,
         
        I’m afraid that since this is in closed beta that we’re not currently able to add users to this testing group. You’ll need to have been invited to test out the beta through an email communication and see the option shown in the OP’s screenshot from your Connected apps page.
         
        That being said, we’ll ensure to update here when we have some more info about this!
         
        In the meantime, have a great day!
