Benefits of Google Workspace Document Signing
Signing documents directly on Google Workspace offers plenty of advantages. Here are some of them.
Enjoy unlimited access
You can view and revise all your documents in the cloud regardless of your device or browser. As long as you can access Google Workspace, you can effortlessly affix your signature to any form or agreement. You can also have signatories sign your documents on their PC, Mac, Android, or iOS devices.
Since you can do business round the clock, it’s possible to close deals ahead of schedule. Plus, there’s no need to be physically present to sign legally binding contracts. You can also share signature requests via email or have your recipients download a copy via the link.
Share and migrate data securely
Google uses robust measures to safeguard data against cyber attacks. Aside from two-factor authentication, Google Workspace apps can intelligently detect unusual login activity and data-sharing behavior. This way, you immediately block potential threats and ensure a smooth signing experience.
Besides, by integrating Fill, you can implement additional security measures like signer identity verification and 256-bit encryption. You won’t have to go to great lengths to ensure the safety and privacy of your legally signed forms.
