Select multiple documents in Drobox Sign "your documents" list for bulk actions (deleting, etc.)
In the "your documents" section of Drobox Sign, users have the options to send reminders for unsigned documents, download, share, delete, etc. However, we can only do this on each individual document.
What I'd like to suggest is the option to select multiple documents (maybe even a "select all" for the current filter) to allow bulk actions. I'm picturing something like most email clients have for emails: either checkboxes or shift-clicking, then "mark all as read" and "delete all", etc.
In particular, I have at least 19 pages of documents (15 per page) dating back as far as 2021 that I no longer need. I'd love to delete them all, not only due to the clutter I see but I'm sure they take up some amount of storage on Dropbox's servers. However, asking me to manually delete each document individually is just unrealistic when it takes several seconds to click the "more options" three dots, click delete, confirm the popup, and wait for the page to reload. It'd probably take me the better part of a day, even assuming I didn't have other work to attend to.
It would also be helpful if the "your documents" section had more filtering options than just document status and search terms. Filtering by date and by template used would be a good start.
I'd also like to recommend giving the user some means of categorizing the documents in the "your documents" section, rather than just placing everything in a very, very long list. Either folders we can place documents in, or a tag system, or both.

This would be a huge quality-of-life improvement. I’m in the same situation with years of old documents piling up, and deleting them one by one is incredibly time-consuming. Bulk selection with checkboxes or shift-click would make cleanup so much more manageable. Better filtering (date, template, etc.) or even basic folders/tags would also help keep things organized long-term. Really hope the team considers this.
