Documents & e-signature

A real drive, not just an attachments tab

Folders, versions & search

Folders, version history with restore, previews, comments, search of names and text, and a bin that keeps deleted files for 30 days or longer.

Share the right way

Share with a person, department, team, site or role, or by link with an expiry date. Passwords and download limits come with Plus and above.

Templates with merge fields

Write your contracts and letters once and fill them for each employee automatically from their HR record.

Expiry reminders

Set an expiry date on any document and get reminders 60, 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before, and on the day.

Policy sign-off in the app

Publish a policy and staff read it and confirm on their phones. You see who has acknowledged each version.

E-signatures

On Professional and Enterprise: send from a template, an upload or the editor, with several signers, reminders and expiry. Staff sign in the app; outside signers need no account.

Audit certificate

Every signed PDF carries a certificate of completion: signer, status, time signed, IP address, an event log and a SHA-256 fingerprint.

Private documents

Each employee has a private folder. On Professional and Enterprise, admins can open one only with a reason, and every look is logged.

Room to grow

50 GB included, with storage plans up to 5 TB and uploads up to 5 GB a file.

Competitor information comes from each vendor's own website, help centre and price pages, checked on 19/10/2026. Prices are in pounds sterling, excluding VAT; where a vendor only publishes US dollars we converted at the rate shown on its page. "Not published" means we couldn't confirm it either way.

FAQ

Questions about documents & e-signature

Do we need DocuSign as well?
Not on the Professional or Enterprise storage plans: e-signatures are built in, with several signers, reminders and a certificate of completion on every signed document. Staff sign in the app, and people outside your company sign without an account.
How much storage do we get?
50 GB is included. Bigger storage plans go up to 5 TB, with larger uploads, more share links and a longer bin.
Where are documents stored?
atlasHR runs on UK servers, with backups in London. Files are stored with Amazon S3.
Can we use our own contract templates?
Yes. Write your own templates with merge fields and generate a filled-in document for any employee in seconds.
