About DocSend
DocSend (by Dropbox) is a secure document sharing platform that gives sales teams granular visibility into how prospects engage with their proposals and presentations. It tracks exactly which pages prospects view, how long they spend on each page, and whether they share the document with others. This insight is invaluable for deal management — knowing that a prospect spent 12 minutes on the pricing page but only 30 seconds on the executive summary tells a very different story. DocSend is widely used for sharing pitch decks, sales proposals, and sales enablement content.
