How to cancel Dropbox Sign

In Settings, Billing, click Cancel plan (the flow offers Pause plan instead), before the renewal date. The plan runs to the end of the billing period, then drops to free; signed documents stay viewable. No refunds. Cancelling by post also works; order-form contracts need 30 days' written notice.

The short answer

  • Where: Log in to Dropbox Sign, click your avatar (top right) and select Settings (app.sign.dropbox.com).
  • When it ends: You can use the plan until the end of the current billing period; then the account becomes a free account. If you cancel after the renewal date, the plan stays active (and billed) until the end of the next billing period.
  • Contract notice: Written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the term ends, unless the order form says otherwise; otherwise it renews for another term of the same length. How to give notice
  • Before you go: export Signed documents and form response data. What to save
  • Want to keep it for less? Pause and more. Options

Before you cancel

Export first

  • Signed documents and form response data: Log in to app.sign.dropbox.com, click Documents, open the menu next to a signature request, and choose Download, Download PDF, Download as CSV or Download Signed (PDF download; Download Signed and Download as CSV send a ZIP file by email (signed documents, or a CSV of response data)) help.dropbox.com

What happens to your data

The account becomes a free account and you can still log in to your signed documents. Deleting the account permanently deletes it and all its documents. Under the Terms, after termination Dropbox may delete Customer Data any time after 30 days.

What you lose

  • Use of your templates (they're kept but locked on the free plan)
  • Team membership: on free or Essentials, members become individual free accounts
  • Sending more than 3 documents a month (free plan)

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Retention step: After Cancel plan, the flow offers Pause plan instead
  • Cancel before the renewal date: cancelling after it keeps the plan, and its charge, for the next billing period
  • Cancelling is not deleting: Delete my account (Settings, Profile) permanently removes the account and all its documents
  • Download signed documents before deleting the account
  • Dropbox won't delete an account on the user's behalf
  • Order-form contracts: send written notice of non-renewal 30 days before the term ends to contractnotices@dropbox.com, subject "Attention: Legal Department"

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/dropbox_sign.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
