There doesn’t seem a way to turn Paper notes into formal documents.Why would anyone want to keep Paper notes separate from other files, especially project files? It doesn’t make sense at all. This is unique to Paper and not in a good way. The Paper folders are not synced with the desktop either. All of an end-user’s files may be stored in DropBox folders but their Paper notes are in a different set of folders.
Paper has its own folder system and documents are not stored in an end-user’s Dropbox folders. Paper doesn’t store notes in Dropbox folders.This is a stark contrast to Microsoft OneNote’s page and tab interface. That means it’s fine for taking quick notes but not for content creation or organizing projects. You can organize using folders and sub-folders but that creates collections of documents and not well-organized ones. This is likely an intentional part of the design. In all fairness, Evernote and Box Notes are the same. This makes Paper documents look like a stream of consciousness. Outside the ability to create sections headers (H1, H2, etc.) there is no way to break documents into smaller chunks. Organizational tools are mostly missing.Even for a Beta product these are glaring omissions. Unfortunately, the usefulness of Paper is hindered by a number of missing features. Paper certainly follows this philosophy closely by providing an easy to use interface (primarily because there isn’t much there) and a commenting capability similar to Microsoft Office Online’s. The theory is that it is easier for teams to communicate ideas by not getting caught up in the writing and instead dropping in content that is relevant and sharing it. There are a small amount of formatting capabilities as well as the ability to include pictures and attach files.
Like Evernote and Box Notes, Paper is best used for writing quick documents and sharing them. Paper follows the model of Evernote and Box Notes more closely in that it presents a minimal and clean interface with fewer formatting and organizational capabilities than word processors such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word. Its competitors include Evernote, Box Notes, Quip, and even Google Docs and Microsoft OneNote and Word. Based on their Hackpad acquisition and formerly called Notes, Paper is entering into the crowded fields of collaborative writing applications. Dropbox Paper, currently in Beta, is the latest product from online collaboration company, Dropbox.
