## Reviews

### "ShareFile is fast, easy to access and secure for sharing files." — 5.0/5

> **Carmen** | *24 May 2023* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ShareFile is a simple method to share files with employees and customers. It allows you to simply build familiar folder structures and protect data, and its cross-platform compatibility makes it simple to access files. Citrix file sharing is a simple and safe way to save all data in the cloud, allowing us to view files from anywhere and at any time. Citrix has got the unique notion of offering simple access to all platforms; I have seen that most MNCs such as Infosys, DeLL, Accenture, and many more are adopting this; the greatest aspect is that it provides all apps in one spot for ease of access.
> 
> **Cons**: Initially, something is required to connect to the server and even to reflect the changes made to the files; however, it will be better if speed and connectivity are increased; speed is something to enhance, application availability is a genuine annoyance; during peak hours, apps crash, which might be due to issues with the organization's infrastructure or the application itself.
> 
> We don't have a file sharing server, thus this is the simplest way to distribute and exchange data, especially huge ones, across geographically distributed staff and clients. ShareFile eliminates the need for physical storage, and remote access is the most significant benefit, significantly improving productivity and performance. Citrix Sharefile assists us in fulfilling our need to take reasonable precautions to protect our customers' confidential/personal information. Citrix Sharefile benefits our business since it is simple to use and helps keep our customers' information secure.

### "The Best Storage and File Transfer Software for Lawyers" — 5.0/5

> **david** | *22 October 2024* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software is super easy to use. It uploads files very fast and I love the way it integrates into Outlook.
> 
> **Cons**: It is a bit expensive for a sole practitioner who is required to have a minimum of three users (price is per-user).
> 
> Excellent.  My clients like it for its ease of use and privacy of their files.

### "CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE" — 3.0/5

> **JACQUILYN** | *02 December 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: FINE AS A PROGRAM, A FEW GLITCHES WITH ACCESSING.
> 
> **Cons**: GLITCHES WHICH LEFT THE CLIENTS UNABLE TO OPEN FILES. COMMUNICATION ISSUES.
> 
> OVERALL MY EXPERIENCE WAS GOOD UNTIL I WENT TO CANCEL (BEFORE MY ANNUAL SERVICE WAS OVER) I CANCELLED VIA EMAIL SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS COMPLETELY IGNORED.  THEN THEY ISSUED AN INVOICE FOR THE COMING YEAR AND I INFORMED THEM AGAIN I HAD CANCELLED. 3 MONTHS LATER I RECEIVE A THREATENING EMAIL STATING THAT I HAD TO PAY THE INVOICE AS THEY HAD ISSUED IT\! INTERESTING AS THEY HAD ALREADY CLOSED MY ACCOUNT MONTHS AGO.

### "Very versitile and easy to figure out program" — 5.0/5

> **Greg** | *16 August 2019* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software includes a number of additional features, including secure email, and the ability to easily and affordably add more.  I have used this software now at three different companies.  Set up was easy and the help center guidance was very good.
> 
> **Cons**: Set up of folders was a little tedious and slightly cumbersome but was very easy to figure out and add/subtract people as needed.
> 
> overall experience was very good and will continue to recommend it where I work and for my clients.

### "Couldn’t be more secure" — 5.0/5

> **Mona** | *11 September 2022* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is very secure and protected with encryption, perfect for legal or financial information. Electronic signatures are completed with little effort. &#10;Citrix ShareFile has an email plugin that sends large files without so many hiccups. The emails are protected on their way. Client portal was well liked.
> 
> **Cons**: I think it’s too expensive and it needs to be made more simple to understand and use. I think it should be more adaptive so smaller businesses can get what they need without paying for and getting confused with the enterprise settings.
> 
> This experience was ok, it wasn’t our perfect fit.
