Useless if you can’t read small font sizes

I had to delete it. Because it’s absolutely useless if you can’t read small fonts. Nothing helps. I couldn’t even write a sentence. You can’t decide on font size. There is no way you make it larger. It doesn’t respond to default font settings of your phone. It’s simply useless, for anybody who can’t read small fonts. Don’t bother if your sight is not 10/10

The best app ever

Fresh air among other bloated apps: Google docs, Microsoft word etc. need a new release though been a while

App is broken

Completely unusable. Dropbox has abandoned its users and only the scrap remain.

You’re breaking my heart

This is one of my most used apps/tools. But you haven’t had an update in many years and the app has falling behind. Why are you not investigating in this space. I’d pay for this faster than I’d pay for Netflix or Hulu but Dropbox has abandon Paper and their users. This could have been Dropbox’s next big thing but instead it’s been left to ‘rot on the vine’

Appalling Product so bug ridden

This product is totally appalling. At fundamentally fails across different devices. Supposedly there are issues. I spent hours and hours and hours on call customer service. They are totally unhelpful and in fact, downright rude. I have been researching ways to move from dropbox to box.. I would warn anybody please do not go down the path of using this paper product it’s hopeless.
