    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

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.
