Send a document for signature

Drime Sign sends your documents for electronic signature. Your signers do not need a Drime account: they sign from the link they receive by email.

#Start a signature request

Go to Tools > Sign, then click New document. You can also:

• click Signature in the row of actions above your Drive file list;

• in your Drive, click New > Modify > Sign > Get signatures;

• with Drime Desktop for Windows, right-click a PDF, DOC, DOCX or PNG file in your Drime folder, point to Drime, then choose Get signatures.

The request then goes through five steps: Document, Signature, Signers, Fields and Send.

#1. Add the document

Click Choose a document, drop your files, or click Import from Drime to pick them from your Drive.

You can send PDF, PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP files (images become PDF). Each document can weigh up to 50 MB, and one request can hold up to 20 documents.

#2. Choose the signature level

On Which signature level?, choose Simple signature or Advanced signature, then click Continue. You can change the level until the document is sent.

#3. Add the signers

1. In Who should sign?, enter the email address of each signer, and their name if you want.

   Click Add a signer for each extra person. If you are the only one to sign, click I am the only signer instead: see Sign a document yourself.

2. To set a signing order, turn on Set signing order.

   Then drag the signers into the order you want: they sign one after another. Otherwise, all signers are invited at the same time.

3. Click Continue.

#4. Place the fields

1. Drag fields onto the document, or click to place them.

   Choose the signer in Add fields for: before you add their fields. Every signer needs at least one field.

   

2. Click Send by email.

In a phone's browser, fields cannot be placed: Drime shows Place fields on a larger screen. Use a computer, a tablet, or the Drime mobile app, which has its own step to place fields.

To send the signing link yourself instead of by email, click the arrow next to Send by email, then Share the link.

#5. Send

On Review and send, check the recipients, then set the options:

• Custom message (optional): a message for your signers, up to 2,000 characters;

• Deadline (optional): a date by which they should sign;

• Automatic reminders, with a Reminder interval of every day, every 2 days, every 3 days or every week. They are on by default, every 3 days.

Click Send. The message Document sent! confirms it.

Each signer then receives an email with their signing link, which stays valid for 30 days. You follow the request in Tools > Sign, where it shows as Pending until everyone has signed; Remind sends a reminder. See Follow and download signed documents.
