It could sync across users and devices very well an sharing with clients was also easy and auditable in terms of access control and visibility. A lot of those pros. are no longer there or have been eroded. Customer support are perhaps the only saving grace, when you eventually get through to them. They have tended to take ownership of issues and followed up appropriately every time. The fact they actually phone you to explain or check exactly what the problem may be is unusual and hugely positive. In that, they seem to care about their customers. In the functionality of the product, much less so. > > **Cons**: It is getting worse with every update. Half the time it does not sync across devices and users and requires saving a document in a different location or with a different name before anyone else can see it. Sometimes it does not even sync on the same device: I go to windows explorer and the version of the file I am working on has disappeared. The fact that, by stealth, they moved from "unlimited storage" as standard to 1TB per user (only unlimited in the sense you can buy extra space) is offputting. That they make out it was always that way is just insulting. At the current offering, we would never have signed up. There are better and more integrated platforms with more attractive pricing options. The repeated change of name is embarassing. Choose one and stick to it\! "Offline files" are not really offline. When you first switch on a computer, it needs to have a connection to the internet before you can access offine files, which entirely defeats the point. Plus they are not normal files you can access like any other without the app, as all other cloud storage, unless the app is running, they are not accessible. Indexing within Windows environment, whether online or offline files, is slow, really slow. A search within sharefile, unless you go via the website, takes forever and half the time does not return results that are clearly there. Imposing 2-step authentication has also been a pain. However much I disable it everywhere, I constantly have to reenter domain name, email and password, plus wait for a code. Had to do it 3 times on the same machine today, > > Used to be very positive, now I have nothing much positive to say about it, other than their customer service. The failed syncs are inexcusable and make the product virtually unusable. We are now looking into alternatives and have not moved to new providers just out of inertia rather than anything else. ----- ### "Simple for end users, powerful for admins" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *16 September 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The simplicity for end users makes ShareFile a great choice for our business case as we have none technical staff receiving requests for data uploads. > > **Cons**: The authentication process when logging in was a little flaky, we sometimes had to log in twice. This looks to have been updated recently. > > We have been using ShareFile for several years now to request data from customers migrating to our web applications. We especially like the simplicity for end users and the way data retention/link expiration works. I do think the product is a little expensive but I haven't found anything that works as well. ----- ### "A Secure, User-Friendly File Sharing Solution with Excellent Support and Enterprise Integration" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *16 September 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: ShareFile is a user-friendly and reliable solution that excels in enterprise environments. Its intuitive interface makes it easy for users of all levels to navigate and manage files efficiently. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise systems, enhancing productivity without disrupting workflows also offering robust security features. > > **Cons**: While ShareFile is generally reliable, we’ve encountered occasional issues - primarily around file permissions and access controls. These hiccups have sometimes disrupted workflows, especially when managing shared folders across teams. However, their support team has consistently been responsive and knowledgeable, helping us resolve problems quickly and effectively. ----- ### "ShareFile Review" — 5.0/5 > **Vallery** | *12 November 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: ShareFile is incredibly user-friendly and straightforward to implement. Its customizable security options ensure that sensitive information is well-protected, giving us peace of mind. I also love that I get alerts when files are viewed or downloaded, allowing for better tracking and management of shared documents. One of the standout features is that users don’t need to log in to view files, which simplifies the process for recipients and enhances overall accessibility. > > **Cons**: I really have no negatives to mention—it's just an incredibly useful tool\! It has streamlined our processes and made collaboration so much easier. I can’t imagine working without it\! > > ShareFile is irreplaceable for us. It simplifies file sharing while ensuring security. ----- ### "Great file sharing tool with strong security and audit options" — 5.0/5 > **Marko** | *16 September 2025* | Law Enforcement | 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). ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1046517/sharefile?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
