Product Details

What is Dropbox Sign?

Dropbox Sign is a way to sign and request signatures securely online. Users can add legally valid signatures to any agreement from new-hire offer letters to loans to sales contracts to NDAs. Its user interface, admin controls, document tracking, and enterprise-grade security make it more secure than pen and paper methods and come default out-of-the-box.

How it works:

Prepare and Send
Upload documents that need signing to Dropbox Sign from cloud storage or a computer. Then, drag and drop the fields to sign. Finally, add the signer's email address and click send.

Sign
Signers are notified with a link to sign the document on their device. Once signed, completed agreements are immediately available to view in the user's Dropbox Sign account.

Manage
The Dropbox Sign dashboard tracks the progress of signature requests, automatically sends reminders to signers, and lets users view all signed documents. The branding can also be customized and access for team members is managed inside the account settings.

Dropbox Sign integrates with apps like Salesforce, Slack, Oracle, HubSpot CRM, and Microsoft Word so documents can be sent for signature directly from them. Dropbox Sign also integrates with cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, Box, and OneDrive, so signed documents can be automatically saved found later at anytime in a preferred cloud storage accounts.

For deeper functionality, embed eSignature functionality directly into an app or website with the Dropbox Sign API. Features like embedded signing, custom branding, and embedded templates create an in-product signing experience. Dedicated API support team helps users to get a secure and reliable signature experience with faster implementation.

Dropbox Sign's intelligent forms guide users through documents without presenting unrelated questions or asking for repetitive information like “name” or “date”. Also, data from completed forms is automatically sent to third-party systems.

I've really given Dropbox Sign a fair shot, but I just can't bring myself to recommend it to anyone. Security is a big deal for me, and unfortunately - in my experience, it falls short in that department. Plus, when it comes to using it, I feel the whole experience is just kind of meh. It's not terrible, but it's definitely not wowing me either. And then there's the price... For what they're asking, in my opinion, there are definitely better options out there that offer more bang for your buck. All in all, I'd say it's worth exploring other alternatives before committing to Dropbox Sign.

I think Dropbox Sign is for you if you are in need of a platform that lets you easily and virtually sign documents or contracts. Especially if you are working remotely with clients, this makes it super seamless to send new clients docs without them having to figure out a way to sign and return them.

It's really good for uploading documents that have already been created and adding a few fields. My clients have found it easy to use, and I haven't ever had to explain what to do or how to sign up. It can be time-consuming to set up if there are a lot of fields that need to be filled out. I had issues once where a client's name was very long, and it was being cut off in the final document.

I think it is great to send out contracts and get signatures, any scenario where we need to either sign or get a signature I think it is great - area to improve is when sending a template like the W-9 forms we have to constantly enter the email of the person who needs to get cc'ed with the completed form.

In my experience, it works for digital signing but so do dozens of other less expensive services with all the same features and more. Auto send sign request, etc. In my opinion, same basic stuff but fewer features than other ones like Zoho Sign, SignNow, and many other ones.

Why did I not do this sooner!
E signing and storage all in one.
It assists in compliance orientated documentation for my very compliant profession, and also creates an audit trail.
What more could I ask for?
I have contractual agreements which must be signed by a due date and this platform really assist in making this a reality.

Great for business use for e-signatures on follow up loan documents, secure website for client's security, okay for less sophisticated users, but could be simpler for older or less tech savvy clients. I had to re-send and call to re-assure some people it was okay to use.

If you need a cheaper alternative to DocuSign and you only need it for digital signatures, then it is a great alternative to Adobe Acrobat. Also for the free package, they offer three signatures a month which is not a bad deal if you don't need these kinds of services regularly.

It has served me well as a solo practitioner, so I would recommend it to other coaches/resume writers like me. I don't have a frame of reference for how it would serve larger organizations. I can't think of a scenario where it would be particularly inappropriate.

Cross functionally this product is great and the reminders/ email notifications are super helpful. Also signers who are not familiar with Dropbox sign have no problem using the tool. I find it super user friendly. I have found its a little harder to use when a signer has an agent (not a party signing the doc) and the agent wants to review prior to the person signing.

It is well suited to any business which has its customers fill out or sign documents. It is good for both contracts and applications and information gathering. Also good for contractor docs. Not sure what it isn't suited for as it fills all of our needs. We use it a ton.

It works for our company, but it needs to improve when I need to use more than one template at a time; it asks to send it to a different user. I have to go around and write the name first and, in the second slot, add the last name first but use the same email address for both.
