I-Dropbox iqhamuke nezindaba ezinkulu kuleli sonto. Wethule ukuncintisana kwe-Google Amadokhumenti noma i-Quip futhi waletha umhleli wombhalo olula odizayinelwe umsebenzi onethezekile eqenjini. Into entsha, eyathenjiswa yiDropbox ngaphansi kwegama Qaphela ngo-Ephreli, ekugcineni ibizwa ngokuthi Iphepha. Okwamanje iku-beta futhi ifinyeleleka ngesimemo kuphela. Kodwa kufanele ifinyelele iqembu elikhudlwana labasebenzisi ngokushesha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ungathola isimemo ku iwebhusayithi esemthethweni yesevisi ungamane ufake isicelo futhi iDropbox kufanele ikuvumele ungene ku-beta ngokushesha. Ngayithola ngemva kwamahora ambalwa.
Iphepha linikeza umhleli wombhalo we-minimalistic ngempela ogxile ekululameni futhi ongaweqisi ngezici. Ukufometha okuyisisekelo kuyatholakala, okungase futhi kusethwe ngokuthayipha ngolimi lwe-Markdown. Izithombe zingangezwa embhalweni kusetshenziswa indlela yokudonsa nokwehlisa, futhi abahleli bohlelo bazokujabulela ukufunda ukuthi Iphepha lingakwazi nokuphatha amakhodi afakiwe. I-Ty Paper ifometha ngokushesha ikhodi ngesitayela okufanele ibe naso.
Ungaphinda udale izinhlu ezilula zokwenziwa futhi ubabele kalula abantu abathile. Lokhu kwenziwa ngendlela yokubalula kusetshenziswa igama elithi "by" phambi kwegama lomsebenzisi, i.e. ngesitayela esifanayo njengoba sisetshenziswa, isibonelo, ku-Twitter. Kuya ngaphandle kokusho ukuthi kungenzeka ukwabela ifayela kusuka kuDropbox. Kodwa kunoma yikuphi, iPhepha alizami ukuba umhleli wombhalo ophelele ngesitayela se-Microsoft Word. Isizinda sawo kufanele sibe yikhono lokuhlanganyela kudokhumenti nabantu abaningi ngesikhathi sangempela.
I-Dropbox Paper ingaba isevisi ethokozisayo futhi isiqhudelane kakhulu ne-Google Amadokhumenti. Umsebenzi usuvele uyaqhubeka ohlelweni lokusebenza lwe-iOS oluzoletha Iphepha lisuka kuwebhu liye kuma-iPhone nama-iPad. Futhi kuvela kuhlelo lokusebenza lwe-iOS lwePhepha lapho abantu benza izithembiso eziningi. Inzuzo yemikhiqizo ye-Dropbox ukuthi ilandela ukwakheka nezimiso zomqondo ze-iOS, okungeke kushiwo mayelana nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezivela ku-Google. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Dropbox ihlanganisa izici ezintsha ezinhlelweni zayo ngesivinini sombani. Lokhu kugcine ukubonwa ngosekelo lwe-3D Touch. Kodwa lokhu kuwumkhuba wesikhathi eside.
