Answer
Use Display when agents write most of your docs. An HTML report or a Markdown spec from your agent opens as a page at one private URL. Your team comments and edits on the page, and Spaces and search keep the docs in order. Display has a Free plan. Display Team is a flat $79 a month, billed monthly, for up to 150 editors, and viewers are free. Use Dropbox Paper when people type a doc together. Up to 50 people can edit one Paper doc at the same time. Paper is part of Dropbox, and the Dropbox Basic plan is free. Three coding agents can also write Paper docs through the Dropbox MCP server, which is in beta.
Paper is for docs that people type together. Display is for docs that agents write and people review.

Fix any line right where you read it.
A Q3 delivery report is open on Display, with 89.7% in its On-time rate tile. Someone selects Edit in the header, changes the tile to 94.4% on the page, and selects Save changes. The report reopens as version 4 at the same URL.
Shows this step in the loop
A doc stays private until you share it. Then choose who can open it – one doc, a folder or a whole Space.
Every doc stays private until you share it with people and groups.
On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Readers need no seat.
Invite clients and partners by email, and give each one a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor.
On Team and Business, see who opened which doc, and when, before you follow up.
Choose by who writes the doc. Many teams can use both.
“We gave it to a few people, expecting the super users who’d been asking for a publishing platform. We didn’t realize the whole business would pick it up.”

Keep Paper for the docs that people type together. Use Display for the docs that your agents make. An HTML report or a Markdown spec from your agent opens as a page at one private URL. People comment and edit on the page, and Spaces and search keep the docs in order. The Free plan costs $0.
Yes. The Free plan costs $0 and needs no card. It has one editor, unlimited Viewers and Commenters, 3 gated documents, unlimited public documents and 50 MB of storage. Solo costs $12 a month. Team costs $79 a month for the whole team. Both prices are for monthly billing. Version history starts on Solo. Paper is part of Dropbox, and the Dropbox Basic plan is free with 2 GB of storage.
Export each Paper doc as a Markdown (.md) file. In the current Paper release, you export one doc at a time. Then ask your agent to publish the files to Display. Dropbox says that tables and timelines can look different after an export, so examine those docs.
Yes. Invite them by email to a doc or a folder, and give them a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. They sign in with a one-time password, Google or Microsoft. They do not join your organization.
Yes, if you use Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. The Dropbox MCP server has Paper tools for those three agents, and Dropbox says the server is in beta. The agents create and edit Paper docs and answer comments. Display is different in two ways. An HTML or Markdown file from your agent opens as a page, with its own layout and charts. Claude and ChatGPT also connect to Display through the Display MCP server. ChatGPT needs a Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace to publish.
No. One person edits a Display doc at a time, and each save adds a version at the same URL. Real-time co-editing is Planned. If your team types docs together, use Paper. Up to 50 people can edit one Paper doc at the same time.
Not today. An HTML deck from your agent opens as a page, and you can show it in a full-screen browser window. A Slides editor is Planned and has no date. Paper has a presentation mode that shows a doc as slides in full screen.
No. “Open” means three things. Any agent can publish to Display. Anyone you choose can open a doc without a seat. You can download the source file of any doc at any time.
Display works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown. The Free plan costs $0.
