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.

My experience with Dropbox Sign's G2 marketing campaign left me feeling pretty let down. It just seemed like they weren't being totally upfront with their customers. And when it comes to the product itself, I've gotta say, it's not exactly blowing me away. Plus, I've heard some worrying things about security issues. Honestly, I wouldn't feel right recommending it to anyone, especially if they're concerned about keeping their stuff safe. I use sign for two of my businesses and considering different product at this time.

I use dropbox sign to send contracts to clients and have them sign and send them back. Sometimes when they have forms for other organizations they need to fill out, I will add the fields in dropbox sign and have them complete the paperwork there. It's often easier for them to do that than to create an editable PDF. I've gotten good feedback about this process!

We currently use it for contract signatures, W-9 forms, board meeting minutes which are signed by our board president, MOUs, agreements, and amendments. We also use it for staff to sign acknowledgments of policy and procedures. We honestly use it for anything that requires our clients to sign or if something external needs to be signed by our internal staff now that we work in a hybrid environment.

I personally feel so sick of the games and the run-around with Dropbox Sign. Called 4 times before I was billed asking them how to remove my credit card or stop auto billing but it was my experience, they did neither. In my experience, they canceled my plan but billed me $1630 anyways! I am personally disgusted by their lack of ethics. Also, I believe there are far less expensive options!

I use Dropbox Sign to send and have contracts signed by my clients. This software helps with following and reminding clients who have not signed as well as making it easy for them to sign the documents. It also helps keep my signed documents in one place and very easy to find.

I use Dropbox Sign to have tenants sign documents with other organizations on MOUs, etc. It eliminates having to make the signee come into our office and make unnecessary trips when they can open their computer and sign the document. Dropbox Sign is used almost daily and is very user-friendly.

Cloud storage initially, changing a paper based office to an electronic office - what a great relief to do this! Manual signatures to E signatures - why did I not see or use this functionality sooner? What a Godsend! Thsi has improved efficiencies way above my expectations as clients do not have scanners, cannot come in or keep appointments.... blah blah blah. I can even monitor outstanding E signatures through the automatically pending emails.

Dropbox Sign is a tightly integrated solution into the PageUp platform, enabling customers to easily generate documents during the recruiting process which include eSignature requests. This enables our clients to get offers of employment and contracts to candidates rapidly whilst providing a simple eSignature flow to receive completed documents instantly. They've been a great partner for PageUp and our customers.

We use DropBox Sign daily - to sign from contracts to policy acknowledgment/consent forms. It is fairly easy to use and navigate. How it is simple to set up a template and use the same wording and format for everyone you may send it to. However, when using Bulk Send - you will have to be careful and patient as sometimes there are glitches due to the volume of people you are sending your document to.

We use it to send contracts for signature. It helps to speed up the time to close and also integrates with our CRM to track this activity in HubSpot. We find it useful to automate the process and improve efficiencies.

As a solo practitioner, I wanted to go from a home-grown, unsecured contract process to something more professional and secure. I use Dropbox Sign for onboarding all clients, with two primary purposes: to walk them through the process we will be engaging in (managing expectations) and securely take their payment information.

Great functionality and ease of use at a reasonable price. We use Dropbox sign at our organization with our team of freelancers with whom we work on a contractual basis. It is legally binding and saves the hassle of having to meet them in person to sign documents. It is easy to use, and reminders can be sent out with a single click.

I currently use Dropbox Sign weekly. I run a large-scale influencer program where I need lots of contracts tracked and signed. Dropbox Sign has allowed me to stay on top of when Influencers have viewed and ultimately signed our contracts. It super easy to create templates and one-off documents for signature. I love the feature that remind a busy influencer that we are still awaiting their signature.

I have used many signing services, and hello sign is by far the easiest to use and most reliable. I love that it auto-detects fields from a PDF as this greatly saves time in sending standard IRS, SBA, or our own documents as we only have to add a signature field and don't have to add every single field like we have had to do with other signing services. Also, our clients constantly report that they find it very easy to sign in on their phones.

We use this application to send documents to be reviewed and signed by our clients; it is fast and easy to use, and some clients report having problems signing and finishing documents because when the document has a box that needs to fill it up, all of them needs to have a character in or the documents will not going to be close and send it back, I just ask our clients if the question does not apply to them just write NA.

This is a great software that I use to send out contracts to my clients. I chose Dropbox Sign because their competitor DocuSign puts a limit on the number of documents you can send, which I felt was ridiculous. Very easy to use, and I find that it saves me a lot of time in my day-to-day compared to several other signature platforms I have used.

I use Dropbox sign for all of my client's projects as well as my own. It has decreased the time and effort it takes to send contracts as well as letters that need to be countersigned tremendously. The fact that it's integrated with Dropbox also makes it easier to keep track of executed versions.
