Paper is designed with the ability to share ideas at the forefront, so naturally there’ll be opportunities to add comments to anything added to the document. Users will also be able to pull in multimedia links from the likes of YouTube, Spotify and SoundCloud. Any file that’s stored in Dropbox – so, a Word, PowerPoint or Excel document – can be dumped into the Paper document and served up as a preview.
