Google is working on increasing the privacy of eSignatures for its GoogleWorkspace professional version of Docs.
Google has announced plans to implement an eSignature tool into Google Docs for its business users. The brand detailed on its Workspace Updates blog that the feature will work like a drag and drop, allowing you to add aspects, including signature and date signed to a Google Docs file.
The brand added that its intent in adding eSignatures to Google Docs is to create a layer of security, by not having collaborators need to download and reupload PDF files in order to transfer completed online contracts. All contract drafting and development can be done within Google Docs. Google plans to soon roll out this feature as a beta for Google Workspace Individual users. There currently is no word on how the tool will expand beyond that. Google notes that many users might already be implementing other eSignature tools that work with Workspace, such as DocuSign, which works in a similar way to what Google is proposing.
