Dropbox Sign: electronic signatures built into Dropbox

Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) is Dropbox's electronic signature solution. Acquired in 2019, it fits seamlessly into the Dropbox ecosystem and lets you get your documents signed in a few clicks. Simple, fast and legally valid.

• Send documents for signature: prepare your contracts with signature fields, checkboxes, dates, etc.
• Create reusable templates: turn your frequent documents (NDAs, contracts) into templates to save time.
• Get signatures without an account: your clients don't need to create an account to sign.
• Sign on any device: computer, phone or tablet, wherever they are.
• Track every action: complete audit trail with a timestamp for each step.
• Connect your tools: Dropbox, Google Drive, Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Word.
• Secure your signatures: eIDAS and GDPR compliant, 2FA authentication and SMS verification.

Dropbox Sign offers several plans:

• Free: Free, 3 signature requests/month, audit trail, basic legal compliance.
• Essentials: ~€15/month (annual), unlimited requests, 5 templates, integrations.
• Standard: ~€25/month/user (annual), multiple users, admin console, bulk sending.
• Enterprise: On request, advanced features, dedicated support.

A 30-day free trial is available. Up to 30% off the first year.

• Native Dropbox integration: perfect if you already use Dropbox to store your files.
• Ease of use: clear interface, quick to pick up.
• Available in 22 languages: handy if you work with international clients.
• No account needed to sign: less friction for your clients.
• 80% less time to get a signature: no more paper back and forth.

• Very limited free plan (only 3 signatures/month)
• No templates or branding on the free plan
• Fewer advanced features than DocuSign or PandaDoc
• Limited appeal if you don't use Dropbox

Dropbox Sign is an excellent choice if you already use Dropbox every day. The integration is smooth and the interface easy to pick up. For freelancers who just need to get a few documents signed each month, it's an effective, affordable solution. If you need more features (sales proposals, built-in payment), look at PandaDoc instead.
