How can I get the Paper desktop app?
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

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?

6 years agoHey 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:

It's starting to look like Paper for desktop will be one of those apps that remains in private beta until it's dropped completely and never released. I didn't think Notes would be the app I missed the most after ditching Apple and returning to Windows. I'm amazed there is no decent equivalent.

Any update here? I am hearing this closed beta story since 2019. The most annoying is that the web interface suggests there *is* an app, every document I hopen in the browser suggests it's trying to open it in the app and the button at the top of the documents as well.

Hey everyone, thanks for nudging us on this thread.
We're continuing to explore how to best bring Paper to desktop but don't currently have a set time for when the paper desktop app will go live for all customers.
Thanks for your interest!

Hi Grant, thanks for posting here today!
On the Mac that you want to install the app on, can you open a Paper doc online and then click the "?" icon in the bottom right of the page? From there, do you see the option to install the desktop app?
Let me know if this helps!

Thanks D,
I don't see that option. See attached screen shot.
