Questions people ask
Do I need a Dropbox account to use esign.website?
No. You do not need any account at all to sign a document here — that is the main practical difference on this page. Dropbox Sign requires one before you can send or sign your own document, though the people you send to can sign without one.
Is there an esign.website mobile app?
No, and there is unlikely to be one. The site is built to work on a phone browser, which is where most recipients open a signing link anyway — an app you have to install before you can sign a permission slip is friction, not a feature.
Can I collect signatures from two people?
Not on one document yet. Each signing request goes to one recipient and comes back as its own signed PDF, so a mutual NDA means two signed files. If you need both signatures on a single document, Dropbox Sign does that and we do not.
