## Key features

- **Fax from the browser or email:** Upload a file and enter a fax number in the browser, or email the document to the number at fax.dropbox.com. Email to fax needs a paid plan.
- **Edit and sign before sending:** Add text fields and your signature to a document online before it goes out, on every plan including the free account.
- **Cloud storage connections:** Pick files from Dropbox, Google Drive, Box or OneDrive, and save copies of sent and received faxes back to them.
- **Receive as PDF by email:** Paid plans include a fax number in the US, UK or Canada; incoming faxes arrive in your inbox as PDFs.
- **Shared team page pool:** Add teammates to one plan and they share its monthly pages and number, or buy extra numbers and assign them.
- **Fax API:** Dropbox offers a Dropbox Fax API and SDKs for developers who want to send faxes from their own software.

## Good for

- People who send a handful of faxes a year from a browser
- Dropbox, Google Drive and Box users faxing stored documents
- Small offices sharing one fax number and page pool

## Worth knowing

- Receiving faxes needs a paid plan; the free account only sends, at $0.99 per fax of up to 10 pages once its free pages run out.
- Pages over a paid plan's allowance cost 5 cents each, sent or received, and international rates vary.
- Porting an existing number needs Professional or Small Business and is offered in the US and Canada; a one-time fee may apply.
- HIPAA and SOC 2, SSO and the Salesforce integration are listed for a sales-led tier, not the self-serve plans.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 24, 2026. Dropbox Fax, once HelloFax, sends faxes from a browser or email and pulls files from Dropbox, Google Drive, Box or OneDrive, with text and a signature added first. The free account only sends 5 pages, paid plans start at $8.33 a month billed yearly, there are no apps, and HIPAA and SSO need a sales-led tier.

- **Value for money: C.** Home Office is $8.33 a month billed yearly ($9.99 monthly) for a number, 300 pages and five senders, between this category's cheapest quarter and its middle. The first month is $2.50 on monthly billing.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A free account with no card sends 5 pages, plus up to 20 more for sharing or quick tasks, then $0.99 a fax. It can't receive, as a number needs a paid plan.
- **Features: C.** Browser and email faxing, editing and signing before sending, cloud storage links, a shared page pool and an API. The gaps: HIPAA, SOC 2 and SSO are only on a sales-led tier, and numbers come from the US, UK and Canada only.
- **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. You upload a file in the browser, type the fax number and send, on a free account with no card.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but it connects to Dropbox, Google Drive, Box and OneDrive, with a fax API and SDKs. No phone or desktop apps, and Salesforce is on the sales-led tier.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Dropbox Fax you would be making fax numbers connected to the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $99.96 a year.

- You could not: Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Dropbox, Google Drive and Box among them, and has an API.
