    Its currently in close beta. 

    If you are part of the beta you will be able to install it via a pop up on screen when you go to http://paper.dropbox.com

      Hey there juntboy, 
       
      I’d recommend submitting a ticket with our team for assistance since this feature is currently in beta. If you prefer I can reach out to the email address associated with your Community profile, or if you’ve already submitted a ticket then please feel free to let me know the reference number (eg. #1234567) and I can follow up there with you.
       
      Let me know - Thanks!

    You can also create a shortcut in Chrome or Brave. Click the right dot menu, more tools, create shortcut, open as window. This will open paper as an app and you can more the app to your applications folder or desktop or dock on mac.

      Hey jaloyuro,

      I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to there, can you please provide me a little more detail? Such as where you are located on the website where you expect a popup.

      Any relevant screenshots are always appreciated - Thanks!

    Hi there!

    I thought the new dropbox desktop app (MacOS) would include Paper. Is it not (yet) the case or do I need to activate something somewhere? Thanks 🙏

      Thanks for your interest in this Fredericw!

      Sadly, if you don't see this available on your new desktop app it means that it's not yet available to you (it's still in a closed beta phase).

      Worry not though for you'll get plenty of email notifications once we roll it out to all of our users! 

      Welcome to our Community and thanks for using Paper Frederic :grin:

        Thanks for your message Walter!

        I love Paper and use it everyday with my customers. Looking forward seeing it on my desktop app!

        Any idea on the delivery date?

         

        Have a great day,

        Frédéric

    Hello!

     It has been some time since I heard from this. Is there any update on when paper for windows desktop will be released for us and whether it will be accessible offline?

      Hey everyone, thanks for your interest in this!

       

      At the moment, I don't have any further updates to share with you I'm afraid. This is still within closed testing so we won't be able to opt anyone in to test this out but we'll keep you posted with any news.

       

      Hope you all have a great weekend!

        It has now been a year and a half...  Any updates?  Is this app ever finally going to come out (or even advance into open beta)?  Paper was a huge part of why I upgraded and I am still stuckk on the "old" version and there is *still* no progress on the app...  :slight_frown:
