You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Will Dropbox Paper for web consider support offline mode for Dropbox Web just like google docs in the future?
there were mobile and desktop apps.
Apple notes is ugly, too simple and featureless.
OneNote is a data hog, ugly as hell, takes hours to sync, has too many customisations and is ugly as hell.
Evernote just seems like a joke I don't get. I don't understand why people are paying for it . I mean, use OneNote if you want a cumbersome eyesore...it's free.
Paper could use some improvements that I'm sure are on the way but I would definitely be happy to switch all my notes over as is...if it wasn't only available in browser.
The UX is great. It's soooo purrty to look at. You have nailed the font, It's so nice and clean to type with. Oh and those tables...oh, oh, oh and them code blocks. mmmmmm *nerdgasm*
Give me apps please!

Hey there Braceyourself - I hope this finds you well and sorry for the delayed response to your comment.
We try to collect and track all feedback requests to inform the ongoing development of Paper so I've put your request for a Paper app for desktops on our list - thank you for this feedback.
As per mobiles, you can download the Dropbox Paper app here:
- Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dropbox.paper
- iOS: http://appstore.com/dropbox-paper
I hope this helps to some extent and please let me know if you have any more suggestions or feedback.
Thanks!
Thx for responding to all these old questions, Walter. Some are so old, they may not be relevant anymore...like my observation about "yellow" in the UI (FYI - that thread is locked, so I cannot even reply there.)
I expect most people know about the mobile apps. I agree with Braceyourself that an independent-from-the-browser, fast, offline, data-sync'd, desktop app would help compete with Evernote/OneNote. But, as a SW developer, I know how crazy complex offline edits are to incorporate into a system designed to be always connected... so I'm not holding my breath for Dropbox to whip up an Electron app version of Paper... unless...
Questions for people wanting a desktop Paper app:
1) What unique things are you wanting that you believe makes a desktop app necessary? (for example: able to view all documents while offline)
2) If the desktop app sync'd all/some of your files, allowed editing only while connected, what would you say?

Thanks for the additional comments Tim42c - I'm leaving this thread open so other users can chime in and share their thoughts and suggestions on this!
If there's anything I can help with in the meantime, don't hesitate to let me know and I will be happy to assist in any way I can.
PS: Yes, I saw that thread was locked after replying to you there - it was a bit old to be honest, yet, I wanted you to know that there's always someone gathering feedback from all of our forums (or forum's sections - whichever you prefer) so thanks again for sharing your ideas with us Tim.
