The 'signature' function on my dropbox isnt working any longer. When I click it, it returns my ipad to the homepage. What settings do I need to change? Will I have my saved signatures disappear?

Hi there @Klix88

Thanks for checking in with us here! We'd be more than happy to help.

Could you just let us know a bit more info, such as:

  • Are you getting any error messages when trying to user the feature? If so, a screenshot (without personal info) would be very helpful. 
  • Have you ensured that you have the most up to date version of the app?
  • Do you get this behavior with every or certain files?

Let us know what you find!

Hello Lusil, Yes it has occurred with every document I have tried so far. There is no message it just shuts dropbox down. I can place text, just cannot sign. Yes I have the most current version of the app.

Hi, I check everyday to see if the signature function has been resolved and refresh the app updates too without success. Do we have a time when the bugs are to be fixed pls?

Same issue! Just started happening. Latest version of Dropbox, iOS 13.1, iPad Pro Model MU1D2LL/A2013. Re-started iPad, re-started Dropbox, tried multiple PDFs, blah blah blah no difference.

I'm also having the same issue: DropBox crashes when I attempt to sign a PDF document. This happens consistently for all PDF documents that I've tried. If I uninstall Dropbox and re-install, then the first time I sign a document (where it prompts me to actually draw my signature) it works, but any time I attempt to use an existing signature, it crashes. Very frustrating, and I hope this gets fixed soon.

 

Dropbox 162.2 on iPad MR7G2LL/A running iOS 13.1.2.

Hi @SteveC4872, welcome to the Dropbox Community!

Could you also confirm for me if you've tried clearing your cache by any chance?

Thanks in advance!

I have not previously explicitly cleared the cache. But I have uninstalled Dropbox and re-installed multiple times. 

 

I just now tried clearing the cache. It did not make a difference: it still crashes once I click the pen icon (after opening the PDF, and choosing "Add text or signature").
