Join the Dropbox Paper open beta now for Android, iOS, and web

Dropbox is my favorite cloud storage service. I am such a fan, that I actually put my money where my mouth is -- I pay for it annually rather than use a "free" alternative. Why do I open my wallet? Besides being cross-platform and offering a Linux client, I respect the company's consistent improvements and innovations. I also like that its business is mostly focused on storage -- it isn't just one tentacle of a much larger octopus-like creature, such as Microsoft or Google.

Today, the company opens up the beta-testing of its all-new Dropbox Paper apps for Android, iOS, and web. If you are interested in participating in testing the collaboration tool, please read on.

"We built Dropbox Paper to help fast-moving teams create collaborative docs and share important information. It's a big part of how we’re reimagining the way people work together. We originally launched Paper to a limited number of teams in private beta. And now we're excited to open up the beta so anyone can sign up -- without the waitlist. Plus, we have new Paper mobile apps for iOS and Android that you can use for on-the-go access", says Christina Cacioppo, Dropbox.

Cacioppo further says, "we can't wait for you to get started -- join the beta today at dropbox.com/paper. Once you've signed up, be sure to download the mobile apps from the iOS App Store and Android Play Store".

There you have it folks, you can begin testing the collaboration tool immediately. While this is clearly aimed at businesses, I can definitely see home users leveraging it too -- say, a family planning a party or a trip. The possibilities are endless.

Will you sign up for the open beta and give it a go? Tell me in the comments.
