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.
