Important: The Dropbox Sign for SharePoint integration is being discontinued, starting March 16, 2026. After this date, you can use an alternative like a custom API integration or an integration with a similar service provider. Go to our developer portal for more information.

Once an admin has set up the Dropbox Sign for SharePoint integration, users can send documents for signature from SharePoint.

To send a document for signature from SharePoint:

  1. Log in to SharePoint.
  2. Go to the SharePoint site where your document is located.
  3. Click Documents in the left sidebar.
  4. Hover over the file you'd like to send for signature and click  (more options).
  5. Click Send for signature.
    • Note: If this is your first time sending a document for signature from SharePoint, you’ll be prompted to sign in to your Dropbox Sign account or create a new Dropbox Sign account. The email address on your SharePoint account and Dropbox Sign account must match.
  6. Follow the standard Dropbox Sign signature request process.

Once the signer completes the request, the signed document will either be saved to the same folder as the original document or a new folder designated by the site admin. It won’t replace the original document.
