Dropbox Paper's mobile apps now work offline, support new languages

From PC World: Dropbox Paper users will now be able to edit their documents offline while using mobile devices, thanks to an update released Tuesday. The change means that people can work on the documents they have stored in the service while on a plane and riding a subway, for example.

The feature will allow users of the Paper apps on iOS and Android to view, comment on and edit their favorite and recent documents stored in Paper. In addition, those users will also be able to create new documents while offline. When they reconnect to the Internet, their changes will be synced to the Paper service.

The feature is appearing on Paper’s mobile app first. Dropbox hasn’t added support for offline editing to the web app version of the service that users can access from their Macs and PCs. The company prioritized mobile offline mode because that’s what customers requested the most.

It’s a useful change for Paper, which Dropbox is pushing as a shared online workspace for teams. It’s not meant to replace a full productivity suite like Microsoft Office, but Paper is designed to help those business users who want to hash out ideas and projects in a live-updating environment.
