Dropbox Paper Makes Collaboration Easy

Posted: December 06, 2016

Dropbox Paper launched a year ago, but there are still some who haven't taken advantage of this impressive tool to collaborate with others. Getting started is easy - especially if you already use Dropbox for file and image storage. Get a handle on shared documents, comments and images for group projects by using Dropbox Paper. Michael Ansaldo, freelance contributor for PCWorld, shows how simple it is to start using Dropbox Paper. People have used Dropbox Paper to create more than a million documents since it launched in private beta a year ago. But if you haven’t yet tried it yet, you’re missing out on an impressive collaboration tool, particularly if you’re already using Dropbox to store your files. You can share and co-author documents, enter comments, and pull in images directly from Dropbox. Here’s how to start using it.

Create a new Paper document

Open Dropbox in your browser and select Paper from the left sidebar menu on the main Dropbox page. By default, this takes you the Docs page. (As you create more projects in Paper you’ll be able to navigate between your Docs, Folders, and Favorites using the menu on the left.) Click the Create new doc button on the right. When your new document opens, you’ll be prompted to give it a name and a contextual description. Read the entire article, How to Collaborate on a Document in Dropbox Paper, on PCWorld.
