Features geared towards getting your contracts signed
In addition to the basic features of Dropbox Sign, there are other key features available on certain Dropbox Sign plans for anyone looking to sign an online contract. These features were all created to make it easier and more efficient to organize signing order and flow of a contract:
Signer permissions
Two-factor authentication is a protection tool that requires a signer to enter a unique code before accessing your documents. This is particularly useful for highly-sensitive contracts!

Collect accurate info on the first try
Everyone’s in a rush and sometimes that means people fill out their phone number in the email address field. Data validation helps you define the data you’re trying to collect so you can get the right information on the first try.

Frequently asked questions
What is an online contract?
An online contract is an agreement that is drafted, signed and executed electronically via the internet. Online contracts are designed to be read and signed without the need for physical paper. Signing is done using eSignature technology, whereby a signature can be added to the contract in a variety of different ways. These include uploading a photo of an existing signature, drawing one manually using a cursor or typing and then customizing the font, all within a signature box that can be moved to different positions on the online contract.
