HelloSign
HelloSign is a cloud-based electronic signature tool that enables users to sign, fill out, send, retrieve, and save documents paperlessly. Any documents signed using HelloSign are legally valid under The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 2000, as well as the European Directive (EC/1999/93).

HelloSign users may fill out and sign documents on a computer, tablet, or mobile phone. Users may also upload and prepare documents to be signed and filled out by another party or parties, otherwise known as a "signature request." Recipients receive the signature request via e-mail, in which they click the "Review & Sign" button to begin the signature process. The document will display, and signers are guided through the document with arrows indicating where they need to sign, fill in text, or select a check-box, as indicated by the originator of the document. At the end, the signer clicks "I Agree," and a copy of the signed document is e-mailed to the signer and returned to the requester.

Integrations
HelloSign integrates with cloud storage services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, Box, and SkyDrive, allowing users to save and access their signed documents in any of their cloud storage accounts. In addition to its web application, HelloSign also offers a free mobile app for iPhone and Android devices.

Heavily integrated with Google, HelloSign also offers a Google App for on-boarding teams, and provides the option for users to use their Gmail username and password to log directly into HelloSign.

HelloSign for Gmail
