Paper - Dropbox versus Sign in - Google Accounts
Compare	Paper - Dropbox	Sign in - Google Accounts
Verdict	Depends	Worth it
Best for	Teams already paying for Dropbox	Students and personal docs
Who it's not for	Anyone wanting a standalone docs tool . Paper is Dropbox-locked	People avoiding Sign in with Google on third-party apps
Privacy	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed; one 2019 report of viewer details exposed on publicly shared docs, phishing abuse of .paper links, and no dedicated Paper security page.^⁵	Google ships 2FA, security checkup, and app-permission review; its sign-in page is also a prime phishing lure.
Support quality	No support-quality evidence found	Consumer accounts get self-serve help; lockout threads linger
Public sentiment	Users pit Paper against Google Docs in nearly every thread, praise the co-editing, and gripe about the app shutdown and weak integrations.^⁸	Nobody reviews a login page; the recurring user complaints are account lockouts, failed recovery, and third-party sign-in failures.
Biggest gotcha	Paper apps hit end of life in 2025; everything runs in-browser only.^²	Losing your 2FA device can mean permanent lockout; recovery requests frequently fail
