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
So essentially Dropbox has decided that paper will be 100% browser based except for iPhone and iPad? If so that's lame, only being able to work in a browser.

Super User IISeems that way .... and I'm the same as you if I'm honest I dont like things cluttering it my already chaotic browser window!
Kind of baffling to be honest, there is are iPhone and iPad apps that aren't half bad, you can see your to dos, all your paper docs, etc. I would think it would be really easy to make the iPad app into a native Mac app. I'm struggling with Dropbox a bit with this because even the Dropbox desktop app, just opens everything in browsers and I find it a bit cluttered with files, documents and paper all mixed together. I'm sure there is a better design.
Just imagine if .paper files were actually just markdown files and you could open them in markdown editors as well, that would be super powerful.
- That's very disappointing. If Paper is going browser based for desktop I have no interest iin using it and will continue my search for a decent notes app
I have 100% abandoned Paper because of this. I no longer use it at all. I've used Noteplan 3 which is a great app that uses Markdown files stored locally. I'm actually just moving Craft now as there are a few features there I like and considering using Things3 (I'm on a mac) as they work very well together. Quite disappointed in Dropbox functionality.
