You can now try Dropbox’s take on document creation and collaboration called Paper. Paper is essentially an online word processor like Google Docs that’s focused on collaborating within the Dropbox environment, and the beta is now open to everyone.
Dropbox is also launching Paper for iOS and Android apps today, both still in beta. It has a nice, clean, minimal interface, and a commenting system that works sort of like a built-in messaging platform. If you didn’t notice, the name “Paper” is a sly reference to what documents used to be printed on. [Dropbox]
