What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Dropbox Sign is that it has made my life very easy. I used Dropbox Sign to make getting contracts signed so much easier. We purchased Dropbox Sign to be able to send clients digital contracts and capture their signatures. Previously, they had to print, sign, and scan and send it back to me. I often did not get fully executed contracts. Now that I use Dropbox Sign, I simply pull up the Google Doc, use the Dropbox Sign extension to send it to the client. They sign easily and return, and I sign and send a final contract to them. Dropbox Sign keeps copies of all my fully executed contracts by date, but I can also download and store them myself in my own clients' files. It is safe, secure, affordable, and easy to use.
I would add that we are able to send lease waivers and franchise documents through Dropbox Sign that require multiple signatures from different groups of people at the same time. This has reduced the timing on getting documents back and fully executed tremendously. It allows our company to be more efficient by storing the templates as well for later use.
What is most valuable?
The best features Dropbox Sign offers are that it saves time with getting documents back signed. It allows multiple parties to sign documents simultaneously. It is more professional looking with brand standards. Also, email signature, document tracking, document storage, and templates which are time-saving because we are able to use them over and over again. It integrates with Google tools. It is also very easy to use.
When I say Google tools, I mean I am able to use the Google Document because it seamlessly integrates with Dropbox Sign as an extension to send the client the document. Then they sign easily and return the signed document, then I sign and send them the final copy using the Google Doc. It is very easy.
Dropbox Sign positively impacts my organization as it saves time through the reusable templates. About 50% of time is saved through using reusable templates. You do not have to format the document again or set up the document again. The documents and contracts are signed quickly, while saving time for our recipients, who are our clients, and also our employees have been able to save time. It also saves on paper and mail. There is no need for faxing.
I can say that the 50% time savings has enabled us to focus on more strategic tasks, hence increasing productivity. It has also been much easier for our clients because they can work with Dropbox Sign using their mobile phone. They are able to sign the document wherever they are as long as they are connected to the internet. The time they save is used for other projects and other tasks, hence they have also become more productive themselves.
I appreciate how Dropbox Sign provides a central storage point for all employee onboarding records. It improves efficiency in collecting and completing onboarding processes. It improves efficiency in the timeline and ease of use for clients and client contracts.
What needs improvement?
I believe that so far, so good regarding improvements. I do not think I have much of an issue to highlight. Just two or three things would help: allow editing of documents that have not been signed by any signer yet and save and reuse for the same signers, not just duplicate the template. That would be great. Also, sometimes, a link to Google Drive to store the files more easily would be good. It should be easier.
