European alternatives to Dropbox Sign
eIDAS signing from European providers
Browse the category: Electronic signature software
Dropbox Sign is the electronic signature product of Dropbox, known as HelloSign before the acquisition. It lets you prepare a document with signature fields, send it out for signing, and follow the status of each recipient, with templates for agreements you send repeatedly and an API for putting signing inside your own product. It fits naturally with files already stored in Dropbox.
Signature workflows touch identity documents, contract values and personal details of the signers, and in Europe their legal standing rests on the eIDAS regulation rather than on a vendor's own definition. A European alternative to Dropbox Sign keeps the process and the resulting evidence with an EU or EFTA provider. Skribble and Yousign cover business signing flows, SIGN.PLUS and Paperless offer signing services for teams that want a straightforward send and sign process.

Can I keep sending documents through an API?
API access for embedding signing into your own application is offered by several providers here, Yousign and Scrive among them. Compare the endpoints and webhook events against what your integration uses today.
What happens to documents already signed?
Download the completed files and their completion certificates and keep them in your own archive before you close the account. A new provider cannot import the evidence produced by the old one.
