The Dropbox Ecosystem Question

What Happened to HelloSign?

Dropbox acquired HelloSign in 2019 and rebranded it to Dropbox Sign in 2022. While the core signing functionality remains solid, the product is now deeply integrated into the Dropbox ecosystem.

This means the best pricing and features require a Dropbox subscription. If your business does not use Dropbox for storage, you are paying for an ecosystem you do not need.

Sign & Go: No Lock-in
  • Works with any cloud storage or file system
  • No bundled subscriptions required
  • Cancel anytime, no annual contract
  • Open API for integration with your existing tools
  • Australian data residency and local support

Why Australian Businesses Choose Sign & Go

Australian Data Residency

Dropbox Sign stores all data in US data centres. SignAndGo keeps everything in Sydney, Australia. For businesses handling sensitive documents in healthcare, legal, government, or financial services, this is not optional -- it is a compliance requirement.

Witness Signing and AI Features

SignAndGo includes witness signing for documents that require it under Australian law. AI-powered field detection automatically identifies where signatures, dates, and names should go in your documents. Dropbox Sign offers neither feature.

Transparent AUD Pricing

No currency conversion surprises, no bundled Dropbox subscription required. SignAndGo starts at $29 AUD/month with unlimited envelopes and no annual commitment. You pay for what you use, in your currency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SignAndGo better than HelloSign for Australian businesses?

For most Australian businesses, yes. SignAndGo offers Australian data residency, AUD pricing, witness signing, and AI field detection -- none of which Dropbox Sign provides. Dropbox Sign remains a solid choice if your team already relies on the Dropbox ecosystem.

Where does Dropbox Sign store data?

Dropbox Sign stores all data in US data centres. There is no Australian data centre option. This may be a compliance issue for businesses subject to Australian Privacy Principles or industry-specific data residency requirements.

Can I migrate from HelloSign to SignAndGo?

Yes. Export your documents as PDFs from Dropbox Sign and upload them to SignAndGo. Our AI-powered field detection automatically places signature fields, making migration quick. Most businesses complete the switch in under an hour.

Does SignAndGo have an API like HelloSign?

Yes. SignAndGo offers a full REST API from the Business plan ($99/month) with endpoints for creating envelopes, downloading signed documents, and webhook notifications. HelloSign was popular for its developer-friendly API, and SignAndGo provides comparable capabilities with Australian data residency.
