Use this interactive demo to learn how to create, edit, and share a collaborative document in Dropbox Paper.

Quick summary

Dropbox Paper is a collaborative document editor built into Dropbox that lets teams create, format, and share rich documents in real time. This guide walks you through opening Paper, creating a new doc, adding content, and inviting collaborators — all from within your Dropbox account.


Steps

  1. Log in to Dropbox.com and click the grid icon in the top-right corner.
  2. Select Paper from the app menu.
  3. Click Create Paper Doc to start a new document.
  4. Click inside the document and start typing to add text.
  5. Drag and drop images from your computer into the document, or use the Insert menu and select Image.
  6. Use the insert options to add a table, code block, or quotes to your document.
  7. Click the Share button in the top-right corner of the document.
  8. Enter email addresses of collaborators or share a link to give others access to the document.

📌 Why this matters

Dropbox Paper gives teams a built-in collaborative document editor that requires no additional tools or subscriptions — it lives directly inside the Dropbox workspace where files already exist. Teams can create rich documents with text, images, tables, and code blocks, then instantly share them with collaborators via email or a shareable link. This makes Dropbox Paper a practical choice for organizations that want to consolidate file storage and real-time document collaboration in a single platform, reducing context-switching and keeping content close to the files it references.
