How files are indexed in Dropbox Sign zipped folders

Updated Sep 29, 2025

In this article

If you're using templates:

Let's assume there are two templates in a signature request with multiple signers, and you download the zipped folder:

  • template_ids[0] will be 1_-_titlehere.pdf
  • template_ids[1] will be 2_-_titlehere.pdf
     

If there was only one signer, you'd get the signer's email address in the file name too:

  • template_ids[0] will be 1_-_titlehere-email_address.com.pdf
  • template_ids[1] will be 2_-_titlehere-email_address.com.pdf
     

It's similar if you're using files:

Let's assume there are two files in a signature request with multiple signers, and you download the zipped folder:

  • file[0] will be 1_-_titlehere.pdf
  • file[1] will be 2_-_titlehere.pdf

 or

  • file_url[0] will be 1_-_titlehere.pdf
  • file_url[1] will be 2_-_titlehere.pdf
     

Just the same as with templates, if there was only one signer, you'd get the signer's email address in the file name too:

  • file[0] will be 1_-_titlehere.pdf
  • file[1] will be 2_-_titlehere.pdf

 or

  • file_url[0] will be 1_-_titlehere-email_address.com.pdf
  • file_url[1] will be 2_-_titlehere-email_address.com.pdf

What about the Audit Trail?

In all cases above, you'd get one copy of the Audit Trail titled Audit Trail.pdf.
