Requesting a signature is easy to use. > > **Cons**: Users (clients) had hard time to use especially to non-techy users. And the document upload sometimes feel a bit slow, especially when handling large files. > > It is reliable for sending files (secured) and receiving large or confidential files. It got more room for improvement. ----- ### "Unreliable due to system availability" — 1.0/5 > **MAROOF** | *March 19, 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: The new features they introduce. (provided they work) > > **Cons**: System availability during peak time. No document requests, information requests or projects open during peak of the tax season. > > The Progress Sharefile (Previous Citrux Sharefile), is unreliable in a way that it has system-wide slowdowns. Probably due to the limited resources allocated. Not for file share, but if you are using their projects. It works well in the off-season. However, right before the deadline, you keep on getting those errors and endlessly press Ctrl 5. It cripples the whole tax preparation process when you cannot retrieve data from the document requests or information requests. When you reach out to the support, they never understand the issue. In short, not a reliable product at all especially for a tax prep firm. Imagine right before the deadline struggling to get the data. The dreadful calls to clients to send the data through alternate means. Very disappointing. ----- ### "Great file sharing tool with strong security and audit options" — 5.0/5 > **Marko** | *September 16, 2025* | Law Enforcement Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am a long time user and I choose ShareFile because of security options and level of control I have over my uploads. Particulary, I have log file of who accessed what. I am located in EU and my files containt personal information it was really important to be sure that my data is kept within EU. I also like options to customized my sharefile experience which helps my client orient themselves more easily. At one point we also used ability of sharefile to create custom web forms for uploading, and that was a huge time and resource saver too. > > **Cons**: In almost ten years of using ShareFile I never had a single issue. There were few points in time when I had to warn my users to update their software, but web access was always there. > > If you have ever used dropbox, gdrive or onedrive you will find using sharefile easy to use. Major difference is that this product is built with multiple users and clients in mind from day one, while other mentioned products are meant to be single user products which have option of sharing documents under particular conditions. If we put security and audit ability aside (which are important to my use case), second feature really worth mentioning is practicaly unlimited ability to create clients who can access your shared resources. In my opinion (and research), there is nothing quite like it and ShareFile is great fit for my use case (and priced competitvely too). ----- ### "Progess is not Citrix" — 1.0/5 > **Kimberly** | *May 1, 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: ShareFile has been useful for secure file sharing, especially when working with outside firms and sharing client-related folders. The platform itself served our needs for years and was helpful for organizing and exchanging business-critical documents. > > **Cons**: The renewal and billing process after the Citrix-to-Progress transition was extremely disappointing. Billing and renewal communications were routed in a way that the appropriate person responsible for payment did not see them, and our firm did not receive or review the invoice until shortly before our service was cut off. Rather than working with us on a reasonable transition or prorated resolution, Progress ShareFile insisted on payment of the full annual renewal to restore access. The company’s position appeared to be that the auto-renewal terms controlled, regardless of the communication issues during the transition. That may be their policy, but it was not a customer-focused way to handle a long-standing business account. > > Our firm used ShareFile for years, originally under Citrix. The product itself worked for secure file sharing, but the handling of our account after the transition to Progress caused us to lose confidence in continuing the relationship. Being cut off from business-critical file-sharing materials before the correct billing contact had a meaningful opportunity to address the issue created unnecessary operational disruption. We paid to restore access, but based on this experience, we do not intend to renew. Businesses relying on ShareFile should pay very close attention to auto-renewal deadlines, billing contacts, and notice requirements, because once the renewal date passes, the company may insist on the full annual amount even if there were transition-related communication problems. ----- ### "Great File Server replacement for SMB companies and more" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *November 20, 2025* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and Fair pricing\!\!\! We have been using this product for over 10 years successfully\!\!\! Keep up the good work... > > **Cons**: Desktop app will glitch if overloaded To fix the PC would need to be rebooted, as an alternate way to access your files, the browser will always work. > > Excellent Every company needs to have cloud storage, Sharefile allows for this in an easy to use package. I like the 3rd party separation from the big players and the extra features that you would not get from a Microsoft or Amazon. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1046517/sharefile?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1046517/sharefile) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
