Paper Terms
Fair use
Paper is a notebook. What that means in practice.
Paper is a safe place to think, take notes and organize life. It was made to be used as a notebook, by people, with the help of programs and AIs when they want.
Notebook use
- Notes, lists, diaries, studies, projects, minutes, drafts.
- Images and files that are part of those notes.
- Automations that help the person: creating the day's page, gathering tasks, summarizing the week.
Use that doesn't fit
- Database. Storing thousands of records from a system, sensor data, logs or answers from other services.
- File hosting. Uploading images to use on other sites, apps or stores, or distributing files through published links.
- Queue or integration between systems. Using pages as messages between programs.
- Accounts in series. Creating several accounts or tokens to add up limits.
These uses weigh on everyone's service and lead to a permanent ban. See Bans and appeals.
Cloud images
Today, the images in your notes stay on your device and in your Google Drive. Image hosting in Paper's cloud, for the paid plan, is a future feature and doesn't exist yet.
When in doubt
If you don't know whether a use fits, ask first through support.
