Features
Everyday tool integrations
Signature requests can be sent from Dropbox and other everyday tools, cutting the manual steps between preparing an agreement and getting it out.
Automatic saving of signed files
Completed agreements save automatically to a connected storage account, so signed copies stay filed without manual downloads.
Platform connections
Dropbox Sign connects with Dropbox, Google Drive, Salesforce, OneDrive and other platforms that teams already rely on.
Security and audit trails
Each agreement is protected by enterprise-grade security and an audit trail, which helps confirm a signature is genuine and records when it was signed.
Dropbox Sign API
The API builds secure, branded signing directly into a website, app or product experience.
What users say
Pros
- Contracts go out and come back signed without back-and-forth emails, and the signing screen needs no explanation.
- The audit trail and status notifications show where each agreement stands, which matters for financial documents.
- Completed documents stay organized and accessible, with signed files centralized in Dropbox alongside other stored files.
- Signing flows slot into a product quickly, with clean documentation, simple webhooks and ready-made SDKs.
Cons
- Sending 10-14 contracts at a time triggered a spam block, and a deadline was missed while waiting days for a reply.
- Pricing can feel a bit high when the plan is only used occasionally for a few documents.
- The free version covers only a small number of documents.
- Customization options for templates and workflows are limited, holding back tailored contracts and approval flows.
- Internal system integrations need additional setup work before documents move through them.
