E-signatures for everyone - Box Sign now included in Box individual plans

Each time a pen is put to paper to sign a printed document, we think how much simpler and more efficient the whole process could be if every contract were digitized. On a macro scale, we are reminded of the larger environmental impact that using paper documents and mailing them around has on our carbon footprint. On a smaller scale, while it's become the norm to opt for paperless e-statements and save boarding passes on our phones, many businesses still don't provide us with the ability to sign electronically. We realize it’s incredibly convenient to sign from anywhere, at any time, and on any device, and especially easy to organize and retrieve signed documents online. Simply put, now more than ever, we feel the need to embrace digitization and e-signatures as the norm in life and work.

To that end, Box is excited to announce that we’ve added Box Sign e-signature capabilities to our Individual (free) and Personal Pro accounts, so every one of our customers can take advantage of native e-signatures.

Whether you’re a freelance photographer who wants paperwork to be the last thing between you and your photoshoots, a small business owner running your family-owned store in town, or a busy parent who wants to electronically sign and send back the field trip consent form your kid brought home from school, Box Sign has you covered.

In our individual plans, you get ample cloud storage, the ability to securely share and easily collaborate with anyone, built-in integrations with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and now e-signatures included at no additional cost, so you can transact digitally. Even if you already use a standalone e-signature tool, you can save yourself the hassle of logging in and uploading documents to yet another service, and later digging through your inbox to find signed documents. Box gives you secure, seamless e-signatures right where your content lives.
