Hi, I found this setting under Settings- Connected apps, but where can I get the Paper desktop app?
Thanks in advance!
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

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.

Hello @daphne can i get access to closed beta program of Dropbox Paper Desktop app?
- JaneDropbox StaffHey anvdasa, kindly note that Daphne has now left the office for the day, however I moved your post under this thread, as it’s my understanding that you were pinging her back regarding this discussion; please correct me if I’m wrong.We're glad to hear you are interested in our new project! Our team is currently in the process of experimenting with new features in order to build the best Paper experience for all our users. That said, let me briefly confirm what has already been mentioned above, as the Paper Desktop application is currently in a closed testing period & you'll definitely hear more about it once we open up the testing.In the meantime, thanks for using Dropbox Paper & taking the time to drop us a line on the Dropbox Community!

I've seen the previous posts about the Dropbox Paper desktop app in a closed beta. As an avid user of Paper, I'm curious: is there an expected release date or open beta period for the app?
- WalterDropbox Staff
Hey there CarlyStan - thanks for contributing to our Community and showing your interest in the Dropbox Paper desktop app.
I don't have any information to disclose at the moment but I'll make sure to circle back here with an update once I have something concrete to share.
Thanks for using Paper and have a lovely day!
PS: I moved your post under the relevant thread so as to keep all the feedback we get about the Paper desktop app under one place.

Thanks,

I use the same Dropbox account on two different macs, but only one has the paper app, the other computer opens the .paper files in a web browser.
How can it get the paper app on both machines? - bilalhExplorer | Level 3
Please release Paper Mac desktop app or share it with business profiles... we have more than 40 users on dropbox, depend highly on paper, and would love to have it as a standalone desktop app rather than having to open a browser each time!
appreciate it!

How could you join the beta? Is it fine if you share the beta software to me, please?
Thanks.
