There's plenty more where that came from, but that's the general idea for me and why I prefer Dropbox Paper. I love how the formatting toolbar shows up only upon double click on the Web version. It makes writing more productive for me rather than just having everything on one screen thrown at you. Dropbox Paper has a light UI, it's smooth and I love how clean it is. The design of Evernote Web make using it slow and unpleasant. On Dropbox Paper, I can resize an image, center it, align it to the left or right, and make comments and a comments section rather than either in chat or by editing the notes themselves. I wouldn't mind if you couldn't change the font at all, but you can on the Web and can't on the app. Don't get me started on how idiotic Stacks are, because you need a mobile device to create them. I stil can't get over the fact that folders and sub-folders aren't available on Evernote Web. They don't have one feature available on Web that isn't available on an app. One of the most important things for me that Dropbox Paper has that Evernote doesn't is consistency. Sharing feature is also important for collaboration I don't think it'll be better in all aspects, because Paper isn't trying to compete with Evernote, I think it's trying to compete with things like Google Keep and writing platforms for collaboration.Ĭan you expand on which aspects are important for you.įor me, the important points are storing and retrieval of my data and sync between my devices I can't say I don't rely on Evernote's Web Clipper and tagging system, but I don't doubt that once Dropbox Paper gets out of this beta stage, it'll be far better than Evernote in some aspects. Evernote is way more advanced and further ahead than Dropbox Paper is, of course. Okay, now, it's time to be real and honest.

Also, folders and sub-folders are very important for me and Evernote Web lacks when it comes to fully taking advantage of Evernote Web. I like Dropbox Paper because it works really well, it's on the web and it's not clunky and doesn't feel slow like Evernote Web does. What are we, in 1999? All of Evernote's features should work on the Web. Why download? It's like this scene in Silicon Valley where this one developer mocks Richard's project because they had to download some software to fully test it. Evernote needs to wake up and realize internet services are everything, nowadays.

I'm pretty much already making the switch.
