Hello, everyone and welcome back to another video so in today's video, we are putting
Head-to-head dropbox paper
Versus, google docs now for those, who, want to skip ahead to the certain, future that you want to hear about you can
Use the timestamps below, and also discover some of the useful functions that both of these applications have
So what we'll be doing is sort of going through the applications in general and then we're going to dive into
Some of the features that, make them really special so the first application, which is dropbox paper is clearly run, by dropbox!
It is an application that has been around for around
About two or three years now and it's been growing in popularity now for those who don't know
Dropbox is a cloud?
Storage site and essentially works allowing you to store any files or documents there
But the paper service essentially allows you to create, new
Documents or notes within the application and i would put the likes of google docs as a close competitor
Now google docs is a extension of the google drive cloud, storage service allowing you to create documents
Sheets and a host more but in this case we're just, going to be talking about google docs now. Google docs has been growing
rapidly
For maybe five six seven years now and is one big favorite for many many due to its
Collaboration function so dropbox paper although very, new
to the space has been able to add a host of different benefits now going on to dropbox paper you get a home docs and
Folders for organizing your different documents now from dropbox paper you can
Create, any new document you can, even use a host of templates as
Well which makes it really useful when it comes to saving time and starting, new
Projects now you can, also create a specific meeting note, which can be attached to your calendar, which makes everything a lot easier
Now if you want you can import any documents in most of the formats which is very helpful and?
of course once you've created the document you can, organize them into folders
now of course dropbox paper has a search functionality but one of the big bonuses
Is that it has this to do function allowing
You, to select something within your text to to do later so you can actually see per document, what you need
To, get done or even per date as, well because you can, assign due dates to those items to
This is one of the more recent functions inside of dropbox paper and one of these spirits, is that many people are enjoying
The specific things that people love, about dropbox paper are the
Conversational functions on the right hand side you can collaborate with, other people as well that's something you can
Do inside of google docs but people like the ability to add gifts, and emojis and a bit more conversational when you're already using
dropbox
Now if you, want inside of any of the dropbox paper documents you can
Add videos or images or even gifts that are more interactive allowing
You, to see them in line without any worries at
Any given time you can invite individuals to the dropbox paper you can, see the document history you can
Word count it you can, even present it print it and download it or add it to a
File star it or follow it which allows you pretty much all the access points that you need to get things done
Now a more recent feature that's been added to dropbox paper is allowing you to edit the template so you can create your own templates
To, share with others almost creating this, base now
Within dropbox paper documents you can, add dropbox files any multimedia you can, add images you can
Also, add tables to to-do lists as, well as bullet points and many more options, like, numbered lists adding
Break, break section breaks and also code too
Now, many people have rewarded dropbox paper with a more
Interactive experience allowing users to be a little more spacious with, their experience creating their
Own workspaces and allowing them to manage projects easier especially with the lengths of the things to do function as
Well as the multimedia and of course the meeting agendas function, is something that don't separate it from the likes of google docs
So moving on to google docs the experience is very easy to get on with many people have regarded this one of the best
Experiences and probably the most consistent now google docs is of course available on ios and android
So is the droplets paper as, well however the experience has been around
A little longer on google docs now if you, want to create your own, new
Brand new document you can and of course organize it in a folder system, which
Google, drive allows you to, do but you can, use one of the templates as
Well so you can actually choose it from a template they have a host of templates including flights of resumes brochures and project proposals
Now many people have?
Regarded google docs as the best way to collaborate you can invite someone to it using an open. Link they
Don't necessarily have to have a, google account to allowing them to modify the document without, any, worry as
Well as being able to add hundreds of people at
Any given time now the great thing is you can
Add that like saved images tables and a host of other functions inside of a
Google doc and they, also have an atom's function, allowing you to add a host more
in terms of the visual experience
google docs doesn't really scream beauty but it does have a pretty simplistic design
It's almost like an online version of word which it pretty much is and does allow you to do a host of beneficial things
One of the things that many people like, is the sort of like add-on
Tools that you can have so you can use a function called explorer to see different items or research items you can
Use dictionary you can, even use your, google keep notepad in there to to make other notes you can, use voice typing as
Well which is a stand-alone function, allowing you to essentially type up something using your voice
There's a host of add-ons as, well so if you've installed them you can you can install them through the google chrome
google docs web store i think it's called and
Using, these, allows you to add a little bit of tasters it's almost like apps for your
Google docs now the collaborative functions are really easy to get on with and many people sort of give a massive head
Nod to them for progressing this in a space
Now creating a, google doc is pretty easy but one thing i would say
Is it's pretty bloated in terms of its experience it very static
Unlike, drum bolts paper, which is a bit more fluid and open and very much a
More media focused experience now in terms of the pricing side of stuff of course you need for dropbox paper
access to a
dropbox account the droplets account obviously needs i think you get two gigabytes free i want
Add that inscription because it's been
A long, time since i checked that but you need a dropbox account to access that you
Also need a google account to access google docs as
Well but you get a 15 gigabyte drive access which is very helpful for all?
accounts in and out of default experience
So in terms of the storage amounts
Google docs wins here only slightly but, again, you know creating documents inside these applications unless you're adding
Hideous amount of media aren't gonna fill your storage up that fast
So guys, you're probably wondering, who is the winner, what do i use now the winner here i am not
Going to give any awards i would say google docs is a very strong and reliable
Tool but i would give the more progressive tool, and fluid tool
And the one would more potential to dropbox paper
Especially due to the meeting agenda functions things to do functions and a much more but i can see google docs having a sort of
Rebrand or reskin very soon so you're probably wondering
Which one do i use and it totally depends on what experience you go with now i highly recommend keeping your
Experience if you are uploading files and documents into the same service so for example if you're a
google
Drive story or somebody stole stuff there then i would use google docs if i was a dropbox news are
Aggressively then i would probably, use dropbox paper but in this case, what i highly recommend is review?
What works best for you, what i would say is if you're in a design or more media focus team?
Dropbox paper is gonna work great for you and i think a lot of people will appreciate it as
Well as you as a creative, maybe being a bit more open, and fluid but, google docs is a bit more rigid
When you're, making proposals and business documents it does feel a lot, better and more prefer to some extent
Obviously all of this might change in the next
Year so do keep out for videos here on the keep it up to youtube channel for any updates but there are a ton of
