Papermark: Open Source Document Management Software for Modern Teams

Does this sound familiar? Your team is growing, documents are scattered across email attachments and shared drives, and you're starting to worry about security and version control. Maybe you're sharing sensitive documents with investors, or perhaps you need to track who's actually engaging with your materials.

Traditional file sharing just isn't cutting it anymore. You need something more robust – an open source document management software that gives you control, security, and insights.

The challenge with document management today

Most teams start with basic tools like Google Drive or Dropbox, but quickly run into limitations:

• No way to track document engagement
• Limited control over access and sharing
• Scattered version history
• Missing security features
• No analytics or insights

Why open source document management is the answer

Organizations are increasingly choosing open source document management software like Papermark for several critical reasons:

• Complete control: Full ownership of your document infrastructure and data
• Security transparency: Clear visibility into how your documents are handled and protected
