This article describes a page available to all Dropbox customers. However, some features on the page require a paid Dropbox Sign plan or Dropbox Essentials, Business or Business Plus.

The Signatures page on dropbox.com allows you to send signature requests, see signature request statuses, self-sign documents, and manage templates directly from dropbox.com.

  • All Dropbox customers can self-sign an unlimited number of documents and have access to three free signature requests per month. 
  • Additional signature requests and templates are available for paid Dropbox Sign plans and Dropbox Essentials, Business, or Business Plus.
  • You can also send signature requests on the Dropbox mobile app.

  • Signed

Admins on eligible Dropbox team accounts can also sort by Sender

The Templates tab

Important note: The Templates tab will be discontinued as of January 6, 2025. You’ll still be able to create new templates and use existing ones, but you’ll be redirected to Dropbox Sign to do so.
 

Your existing templates and any templates you create in the future will be saved in Dropbox Sign instead of the Signatures page on dropbox.com. Learn how to createedit, and use templates in Dropbox Sign.

Templates make it easier for you to create recurring documents quickly. In the Templates tab, you can manage templates to edit or delete, use a template to create a new signature request, and view how many templates you have available.

Note: You must have a paid Dropbox Sign plan or Dropbox Essentials, Business, or Business Plus in order to manage templates.
