I needed to merge all (or many) of my to do lists, reminders, brainstorming, reminders etc. into one place. Specially, should be able to access it on-the-go. Hence the app should be mobile friendly at the same time. And most importantly FREE. I am not going to pay for an app at this stage, I’m broke. These are my criteria when choosing a note-taking app.
I’m not a fan of Evernote or MS OneNote. So, had to choose something else. I came across Google Keep and Dropbox Paper. Both have their pros and cons.
I initially started with Google Keep. Things I like about Google Keep are; it’s merged with Google Apps, accessible (mobile) and I can refer to other Google apps, free. However, no much opportunity for Brainstorming.
Then I did a simple search to find what are good (best) note taking apps and came across with TechRadar’s post. Going through the list of potential apps and their features, I chose Dropbox Paper. It’s accessible on the go, free, I can create folders and add notes, ideas etc., refer from multiple computers.
Right now, I am going to use the Dropbox Paper for a few days and come back to this post and add an end note/ footnote.
Here I am back again for an afterthought about Dropbox Paper.
So far I like the features. I have the liberty to create/organise contents into folders and group. Also, they have a few templates for Brainstorming, project planning etc. They are handy if that is your objective of using Paper. I haven’t used collaboration aspects of the tool yet and no plan of using them in near future. My intention is to keep all my notes, reminders, scrabbling work, to-do lists in one place. In this way I can revisit my ideas and shape them when and accordingly they are relevant to my studies.
Saying that, I conclude my perspective of Dropbox Paper as a to-do list user. This is an independent review and has no commercial aspect to.
