The Rest of the Day: Dropbox Paper Is Now Open to Everyone
Now you can try Dropbox’s document creation and collaboration space called Paper. Paper is essentially an online word processor like Google Docs that focuses on collaboration in the Dropbox environment, and the beta is now open to everyone.
Dropbox is also launching the Paper apps for iOS and Android, which are still in beta. It has a beautiful, clean, minimal interface and a commenting system that works like a built-in messaging platform. In case you haven’t noticed, the title “Paper” is a tricky reference to what documents were previously printed on. [Dropbox]
