TL;DR - Our inaugural hackathon is now live! “Go Paperless” is calling all developers to rethink legacy print, sign, and scan approval processes with the Dropbox Sign eSignature API. The event runs from August 1–September 26th—join now!

‍

Go Paperless

It might come as a surprise, but many organizations around the world still depend on pen-and-paper signatures. The upside of digitizing agreement workflows is huge—along with less getting lost in the shuffle, it’s way more cost efficient and unlocks the potential for businesses to scale. So that’s why we’re excited to collectively innovate—and it doesn’t hurt that we get to save a few trees while we’re at it.


Use your creativity to identify opportunities where having eSign capabilities can create value for your users. Our SDKs—available across Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, NodeJS, and C#.NET—will help get your projects up and running in a flash. This hackathon is open to individuals and teams alike.
