Box releases Box Sign to sign documents in cloud

Cloud office package service Box comes with a function to digitally sign documents. Box Sign allows users to sign documents stored in the cloud.

The service is called Box sign. Users can use Box Sign to sign documents stored in Box, but it is also possible to integrate documents directly into apps such as Slack or SalesForce via the Box integrations. Developers can also implement Box Sign themselves in their own apps with different APIs.

The feature is only available to users of a Business or Enterprise package. They get the feature for free with their package. Users can use it to sign an unlimited number of signatures. This distinguishes Box from competing services such as Adobe or DocuSign, where users have restrictions on the number of documents they can sign.

Box Sign is one of the biggest features Box has announced in a long time. The feature comes directly from the acquisition of the SignRequest company. Box took over that start-up in February for 46 million euros.
