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

Thanks in advance!

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.

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!

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?

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.

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!

Hi.

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

Thanks.

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.

Need more support?
