Description

You can work with everything from video and images, to code and sound—all in a single place. And it comes free with Dropbox.

CREATE & SHARE EARLY IDEAS
Create new docs or edit existing ones, and share them with your team right from the app, so you can capture inspiration wherever you are.

KEEP PROJECTS MOVING
Post and reply to comments, so you can keep projects moving forward even if you’re not at your desk.

CATCH UP IN ONE PLACE
See everything that’s incoming from your team—like comments, shares, and @mentions—so you can catch up while on the go.

STAY IN FLOW, OFFLINE
No internet connection? You can still access, edit, and comment on your starred and recent docs—or create new docs—while offline, to keep the ideas flowing.

158.2Sep 11, 2019

We fixed a couple of bugs this week:

- Docs would sometimes jump to the very top when they finished loading, even when you were supposed to land in the middle.
- Comments would occasionally be displayed incorrectly, cutting the last line in half.

156.2Aug 26, 2019

Speed! Everyone loves apps that load faster when you sign in or switch accounts. We’ve spent several trillion milliseconds trying to make sure the app starts quickly.

154.2Aug 05, 2019

Until recently, searching for emojis within docs was impossible. Now, when you paste emojis into the search field, you’ll get accurate results.

152.2Jul 26, 2019

- Dismissing the welcome message would lead to a blank screen. Not anymore.
- In some cases, the Create Doc (“plus”) button wasn’t appearing. That’s fixed now.

150.2Jul 09, 2019

These issues were cleared up in this release:

- Setting “today” as the due date on a to-do was sometimes saved as “tomorrow,” depending on your time zone.
- A copied doc link would show the wrong title in the URL.

148.2Jun 25, 2019

We fixed a number of nagging problems in this week’s release:

- Starring or unstarring a doc used to leave a blank space where the notification had appeared.
- To-dos listed in the “By doc” tab sometimes displayed the doc name unnecessarily.
- There was a rogue menu button on the comment pane on comment-only docs.
- [iPad] When inviting members to a doc in landscape mode, the “Add message” header wouldn’t appear.
- [iPad] The “You’re offline” banner was positioned incorrectly.

146.2Jun 11, 2019

For this release, we made a bunch of stuff better:

- No more display problems when connecting an external keyboard.
- Say goodbye to unexplained glitches when browsing through comments on images.
- Now we’ve got clearer warnings for anyone leaving a doc while their images are still being uploaded.
- We fixed a bug that was preventing offline editing.

144.2May 28, 2019

Now, when you double-tap to edit a doc, your cursor lands just where you want it to.

142.2May 13, 2019

We sorted out a formatting bug in the collaborator information panel on iPad. We also added more accurate screenshots to our app store listing. Enjoy the update!

140.2May 02, 2019

- Undo your accidents: Don’t you hate it when you edit something you didn’t mean to? No need to worry. Now you can undo and redo changes using the arrow buttons at the top of your screen.
- Bugs we fixed: When you star a doc while you’re offline, it actually stays starred when you’re back online. Also, we made it possible to successfully take and insert a photo with your device while inside a doc.

138.2Apr 08, 2019

Time for some spring cleaning! It’s now springtime here in San Francisco, so we decided to freshen things up and clean up some old code. The app should feel a bit more responsive now.

130.2Feb 14, 2019

- Hunted down a bunch of bugs related to creating folders and moving docs between them. Folders are now squared away.
- A heads-up: Dealt with an issue where people weren’t getting prompt notifications.
- There was an issue with the cursor popping up in unexpected places. We expect it will behave more predictably now.

128.2Jan 28, 2019

This year, we’re resolved to fix as many bugs as we can.

- It used to be tough to re-enable notifications once they were stopped. Fixed!
- Our formatting toolbar didn’t always play nice with third-party keyboards. We made them get along.
- For some to-dos, choosing a due date was hit-or-miss. Now it’s 100% hit.

126.2Jan 16, 2019

We’ve improved app startup speed. You should be able to get to your docs faster.

We’ve fixed crashes related to signing in and account switching.

What’s fixed:

- You know that annoying feeling you get when you want to open a link, but there’s a comment on it? You think: “What’ll I get? The link? The comment? Who knows?” Now we give you the choice. No more guessing.

106.2Jul 30, 2018

The app would crash when tapping “Manage accounts.” It crashes no longer.

Sometimes, the app said a share was successful, even though it wasn’t. Fixed!
