But I tried it again today in safari instead and then it worked and I was able to download the app. Maybe we all get surprised in September (one can dream, right?). When I opened Dropbox paper in chrome I couldn't see the download option at all. They tried the web based version of these tools and making them free, but seem to have totally abandon them since. It does look like in the services area however, Apple has no idea where it is headed. Keynote is already better than powerpoint. the useability is already there and is more intuitive than pretty much everything else. Since I live in the garden, I do not need the link to the outside world, but agree it is needed to gain traction.

really, all i need is pivot tables in numbers and in pages I need table of content, foot notes and one or two other things to write professional papers.

So I was really hoping for Apple to step it up. Much like Google Docs and Drive it provides you with a document to work i. I used openoffice a lot, but once Oracle bought it, I have not seen it evolve and now seems stuck in a day gone by. Dropbox Paper is one of the very under-rated ways to collaborate with team members. Paper competes with the likes of Box Notes, Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Evernote, and Slack - and the space became a bit more. I have never been a fan of office - it is pretty bloated and creates havoc on machines and now that it is a subscription service, I am not sure I will ever use it outside of work. It has also released new Paper mobile apps for Android and iOS. Click to expand.Boy I hope your predictions are wrong (but they may not be).
