The Signature field isn't suggesting the signerâs name for unauthenticated users
Hi! I am using Dropbox Sign to create a new document for signature. In the document, I place a Signature field and send the request to the signer, John Doe, via email. Previously, when an unauthenticated user opened the document to sign, the Type tab of the Signature field automatically suggested the signerâs name (âJohn Doeâ). This behavior was very convenient and worked consistently before the recent redesign. However, the Signature field now suggests only the full name of the currently loggedâin Dropbox Sign user (or empty). As a result, unauthenticated signers no longer see their assigned name preâfilled in the Signature field. Question: Is it possible to restore the previous behavior where the Signature field automatically suggested the signerâs name for unauthenticated users? Thank you in advance for your help.
Automatic logout
I think it would be great and very secure if dropbox logged out automatically after a period of time - decided by the owner of the account (for example after 1, 2 or x minutes) - when no actions have been made on it. This would prevent other user from using the account if the owner unadvertedly got away from the pc and left his account open. Thank you
Is it possible to allow CC recipients to see documents, without making them singers?
Hi! Does anyone here know if it's possible to allow CC recipients to see the contents of a document without needing to make them an official "signer"? I've looked through the settings and can't seem to figure this out, but it feels like basic functionality so want to ask if I'm missing something obvious. Thank you!
Team folders being treated as personal
I'm part of a business account and need to have access to the organization's folders which are large. When I joined the organization, I think I thought I needed to sign up for a Dropbox account and pay for it, which I did for a few months. Then I was told I don't need to pay, so I downgraded my subscription to basic. Now, I keep getting messages that I'm out of space and can't access new files my organization has added to DropBox. I have tried accessing files through a web browser and downloaded the app and still can't get to the most recent ones. I don't need most files to sync to my computer, so I limited the number of folders that sync, and in fact I don't need any files/folders to synch. I'm afraid to delete my account and start over, because I don't know what that will do to the organization's account. Please help! I am not an adminstrator. Thanks.
The text goes backwards when filling out fields in Dropbox sign (preview mode).
Hi, I can't be the only one with this issue. Here is the bullet point format of the issue: Create a template using a PDF file. Started with the basics like using the "Name" field Used multiple text fields Entered in preview mode to test entering data I then click the name field I want to enter a name (example), David, What actually is happening when i type D, the cursor goes behind the D, so when I type A its now AD and not DA This is mind boggling and ive been googling and cannot to get it figured out. I had my colleague test it ( thinking its my pc or browser ) Nope, it behaves the same. Surely im missing something here?
No 'Send for Signature' option on the Dropbox site
When I first started using dropbox sign there was a "send for signature" option from the right click menu in finder. Then that went away and I had to go the dropbox.com. Today I didn't see that option in dropbox.com and had to go directly to hello sign and connect dropbox and import the document. What is up with the constant changes and obfuscation making it progressively harder to access this feature?Open Feedback to Dropbox
Dropbox has the potential to make a huge leap forward not by inventing something radically new, but by strengthening and bundling the tools it already has. Hereâs what could truly make the difference for many professionals and businesses: Reintroduce and expand Dropbox Capture. Today, video and screen recording is a daily need for teams, customer support, and remote collaboration. This tool should not disappear, it should be stronger. Enhance and integrate e-signature features. Make them more seamless, reliable, and part of the core Dropbox experience. For the Italian market, enabling authentication with the CIE (Electronic Identity Card) would make the application a must-have and extremely interesting. Boost DocSend, review its interface and make it more user-friendly. The tool is powerful, but its full potential emerges only when itâs intuitive to use and included in an accessible bundle. Significantly increase file sync capacity. Many users complain about the ~500,000 files (or performance decline oltre i ~300.000 file sincronizzati sul computer) limit in Dropboxâs desktop app The winning move would be to create a unified, accessible bundle that combines these tools at a fair price. This would bring clear, tangible value to users and set Dropbox apart from competitors in a meaningful way. Sometimes innovation is not about the next big thing. Itâs about making what you already have indispensable.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.
