Dropbox Sign (HelloSign): eSignatures & Workflow Tool
Dropbox Sign, formerly HelloSign, delivers legally binding e-signatures and automated document workflows for businesses of every size. It's trusted by over 80,000 paying customers to speed up contracts, hiring, and approvals.
Overview
Dropbox Sign, the platform previously known as HelloSign, takes the friction out of getting documents signed. It combines legally binding electronic signatures with digital workflow automation and electronic fax capabilities, giving teams a single hub to prepare, send, sign, and track agreements. Rather than chasing down paperwork or printing contracts, businesses can move deals, hires, and approvals forward in minutes instead of days.
Beyond simple signing, Dropbox Sign lets developers embed eSignature functionality directly into their own websites and apps, making it a flexible backend for companies building custom signing experiences. Reusable templates cut down on repetitive setup for frequently sent documents like NDAs, waivers, and sales contracts, while native integrations connect the platform to the other tools already in a team's tech stack. With over 80,000 paying customers relying on it, Dropbox Sign has become a go-to solution for organizations that need reliable, secure, and auditable document workflows.
Whether it's a sales team closing deals faster, an HR department onboarding new hires, or a real estate professional collecting signed disclosures, Dropbox Sign is built to remove bottlenecks from any agreement-heavy process. Every signature request comes with a non-editable, time-stamped audit trail, giving all parties confidence that the document exchange is secure and legally sound.
