"Dropbox Paper: a task management solution for simple projects and small teams
My overall experience using Dropbox Paper was very positive. I found the user interface to be intuitive and easy to navigate, which allowed me to get started quickly without the need for extensive training. In addition, I found the real-time collaboration feature very useful for working with other team members, as it allowed us to work on the same document simultaneously and avoid versioning issues.
PROSReal-time collaboration: Dropbox Paper allows multiple people to work on a document at the same time, in real time. This means that everyone can see the changes made to the document in real time, making collaboration easier.
CONSStorage limitations: Dropbox Paper offers limited storage space, which can be a problem if you work with many large files. In this case, you may have to pay for additional storage space.
Reason for choosing Dropbox Paper
Real-time collaboration: Dropbox Paper offers real-time collaboration functionality, which means you and your team can work on the same document simultaneously, without having to worry about version conflicts.

So simple, but very power for organization and task coordination
Paper is, for my team, the ideal replacement for hardcopy notes and simple assignments. Too many alternatives try doing too much in a small window of use. Dropbox Paper keeps you connected, on the same page, and mobile when need be.
PROSThe most powerful feature for us (working in software) has been the simplistic yet powerful markup and shortcuts system. The formatting is so easy to use but also isn't restricted to one method, allowing more mouse-centric or keyboard-oriented users flexability.
CONSI wouldn't mind seeing a dedicated desktop application in addition to the browser interface. Even if it was just a PWA, it would keep users from being so married to more tabs in their web browser.
Reason for choosing Dropbox Paper
After very little time in a 'test drive' mode, Paper made it clear it was the right fit for our needs. No bloat and unused feature sets with reasonable pricing sealed the deal.

Has a lot of potential!
I work on a marketing team and I have started building my marketing plans directly in Paper for the to-do list functionality. I wish it had a regular calendar option though! Overall, it is a useful tool that is helpful for project management when collaborating.
PROSI think the Dropbox Paper feature is fairly new. It has a great general layout where you have the ability to create tables, explain the document, make a to-do list and tag people plus make a timeline. You can highlight text or leave comments directly in the document which makes tracking progress and decisions super easy.
CONSI really wish the to-do list had a capability to automotically put the dates in chronological order and add them to the timeline. Right now the option is there, but it is all manual. Plus, I could use more highlight color options for color coding!

We were filling up our Basecamp storage and were looking for an option with a better search and organization capabilities. We still use Basecamp in conjunction with Dropbox.

Simple, sometimes too much
I was using Paper in the previous company, and I remember that I liked it as long as I was able to find what I was looking for.
PROSI liked the easiness of using the app. It's really simple to create a document, edit it, and even share it within the organization. It has a quite dynamic development.
CONSFiles organization and search. Unless you are the master of structures, you may find it hard to find a document among hundreds of others. What's more, it's sometimes hard to tell what Paper is really for: it's not exactly a good replacement for Google Docs, neither as for documentation tools like Confluence or Notion. The simplicity has its price.
Reasons for switching to Dropbox Paper
Confluence was suffering from a few annoying bugs and is not as user-friendly as Paper.
