Dropbox StaffThanks for reaching out to us, axx_87.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the signing feature and the uploading of a photo of an existing signature for you to use.

As a workaround, I would suggest drawing your signature either on dropbox.com or the mobile app, with the steps found here.
Let me know if you have any questions.
How is this possibly an issue? One of the defining characteristics of PNG files is that they support transparency. And draw is not an option when I (easily) use the same image signature on checks and other legal documents and the signatures need to match. Actually, the more I think about it, the other image formats that are supported don't have transparency as an option so I guess the only way that an image signature could be added (where the signature is tall and wide) is by making the space available for the signature include an oddly tall amount of space. I suppose that could be another workaround but seems like a ridiculous concession for what should never have been a discussion in the first place.
