The former is meant for organizations that need to save files indefinitely having an archive means they can keep things without months-old files cluttering up the file system.Īnother file system improvement comes to iOS and Android users - you can now create folders and move files around from Paper's mobile apps. There's also improved archive and delete features.

Radhakrishnan says that a lot of organizations will make one Paper doc that's a "master" repository that links out to many other files this preview feature should make those kinds of scenarios easier to manage. Basically, they're big and detailed enough for you to get a good sense of what's in the document before you click through - it's a way to keep people from jumping back and forth trying to find the right file they want to work on. Paper has always let you link to other Paper documents, and now you'll get a rich preview of those links when you hover over them with your mouse. Other new features will appeal more to the entire Paper userbase. "But we've gotten a lot of requests for a way to embed design boards and prototypes and so on." Obviously, adding support for these apps isn't going to matter to everyone using Paper, but it will help it solidify the base of designers who have found it to be a useful collaboration tool. "We're not trying to replace specialized tools when people are creating designs," says Kavitha Radhakrishnan, Paper's lead product manager. Chief among those is new embed support for the services InVision, Figma and Sketch. But two years since its initial introduction, Paper's ability to embed and display a huge variety of content (including images, Google spreadsheets, data from Github YouTube videos, Spotify playlists and plain old code) has helped it carve out niches in a variety of businesses.ĭropbox says that designers in particular have found Paper to be useful for their workflow, so today it's adding new features that'll help the service work even better for them. Dropbox Paper originally seemed like a Google Docs clone built for the big businesses that have been an increasingly large focus for the cloud sync-and-share company.
