“We’re not just about creating documents, communicating and getting feedback, search. “We’re very aware of our competitors, we actually see paper being pretty uniquely positioned,” Dropbox Group Product Manager Kavitha Radhakrishnan said. There are a bunch of updates to the Paper beta coming today for the Web as well, including enhanced tables, image galleries, and notifications across multiple devices. Now, it’s hoping to figure out how to further branch its collaborative document-editing tool into the world with a few updates and a new mobile application that’s available today for Android and iOS. This deal surprised a ton of people, but made a lot of sense given that Salesforce has seemingly been dipping its toes into collaboration software. So Quip is a great, and natural, fit for Salesforce and places it in further direct competition with products like Paper.ĭropbox is not only going up against Google Docs, but an increasingly slew of competitors in the collaboration space.

Quip, in a similar vein to Paper, was bought for a whopping $750 million by Salesforce earlier this week. It’s an interesting time for Dropbox’s document-building tool, Paper.
