DocuTouch is an online document-sharing service that runs entirely within a Web browser and requires no downloaded software. DocuTouch won't win prizes for graphic design, and its interface deliberately sacrifices flexibility for the sake of security. But for audited records of everyone who accesses your documents, digital signatures, and even a record of online chat about your documents, you may want this service to be your first choice.
