Dropbox Paper app for Mac.

I have the Dropbox Paper app in my iPhone and iPad, but can not find a Mac app.  In searching this forum I see that there was a beta back in 2019, but then nothing.  I know that there are some iPad app that can be install in M series Macs.  Anyone achieve this yet?

 

Thanks

    Hi there Paul_Hulford and Megan!

     

    We're no longer maintaining the Paper desktop application. While the app will remain accessible for users who had access before, there is currently no additional info on whether or when our engineers will implement updates.

     
    I get this can be frustrating, however, you can use the Dropbox website to edit, create and collaborate on Dropbox Paper documents. 

     

    We'll keep you updated if there's any news on this front.

     

    Thanks for understanding,

    Sam

    Hi Paul_Hulford, welcome to our Community! 

     

    In order for you to check if you're part of our small, selected group of individuals that can install the app on their device, you can try the following: 

     

    Open any Paper doc.
    Click the “?” icon in the lower-right corner.
    Click Get desktop app.
    Click Download the app on the pop-up screen. 

     

    Do you see the option there? 

     

    Let me know!
