embeddable business functionality

hi, I'm struggling a little to find out whether what I want to do is feasible with business dropbox. Basically we're exploring an idea for a specific industry, which has a key requirement for document storage and e-signing. I know it's obvious that dropbox provides these services, but specifically, we are looking at having our own web app, with our own logins for customers. Part of what our users would be able to do is have their own storage area, in which they can generate project folders and upload whatever documentation they want (without a specific DB login). Then, quite likely, a handful of these documents might need signing, so they might be able to select one of their documents in a project, and go through the usual request procedure for signing - but all within our app/domain. This would form a key part of the app, and we would have other non-dropbox functionality alongside it. Is this possible?

Thanks very much if anyone has any brief pointers, I'm not sure why I'm struggling to find this out ... my idiocy, I'm sure!

    Hi!

     

    Both Dropbox and Dropbox Sign offer APIs which will allow you to have a file storage and eSignature functionality in your own web app.

     

    Feel free to take a look at the documentation for each service to get started:

     

    I hope you find this helpful!
