Right Signature!

We use it for multiple form signatures from clients, all the way down into the company for us- as employees. such as contracts, new hire documents, multiple types of agreements and sometimes our day to day things! It addresses our problems, with scanning, faxing, signing things traditionally- and streamlines a lot of bottlenecks we used to have.

We are an AS9100 company that must conform to the NIST 800-171 and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement Clause 252.204-7012 due to doing business with the US Government. Citrix ShareFile is being used by our organization to securely transfer engineering data from our engineers, project managers and estimators to our vendors and customers. Due to the potentially sensitive nature of CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information), it is required for us to safeguard the information and know where it has been and where it went.

Currently, RightSignature is used for a variety of purposes. In my day-to-day, it is used for contract administration and record keeping. But through our growth over the past couple years, our company has started using it for a variety of forms & the onboarding of seasonal performers and staff in other departments. It has become a useful tool that has allowed us to better leverage our resources.

We utilize Citrix Sharefile by either uploading or download important, confidential or super large files from our vendors, consultants, legal teams, internal teams (across geographic and lines of businesses). It serves as a secure way of downloading/uploading information and addresses this specific business need (versus emailing PDFs which may not fit, sending our CDs which takes time, or sending print outs the old fashion way).

Citrix ShareFile is relatively new to us. We are using it to share files with partners and vendors outside our agency as well as to begin the process of digitizing tenant files (we're a property management company and nonprofit). Sharefile helps us to share large files with people as well as organize our existing files.

We use Sharefile to send confidential documents more securely then email. We have sensitive data that needs to be protected when emailed. It helps us solve issues with security as well as customer confidence in us to protect their data. It also helps insure that the right party receives the intended email and we can know when they open it.

Because we are a marketing company with multiple clients, we are constantly working with large files. These files are able to be saved on our server, but the second we leave the office the documents become inaccessible due to the server only reaching a certain distance. We use Sharefile to save the files we need when working from home or sharing within the office. The second way we use Sharefile is communicating with clients. Because most of our design files are so large, they are not able to be sent via email as an attachment. ShareFile allows us to send the files to the clients with little to no issues. The only issue that sometimes comes up with Sharefile is when the clients don't exactly understand how to use the site. But, in my experience, that is a rare situation and it usually warrants a call to them on our end to explain how to open the file.

We use Sharefile to send and receive files securely. We use it across the whole organization. It solves the problem of having to password protect each document we send. This is an easy way to ensure that files are viewed by who they were intended to be viewed by.

Right now, RightSignature is being used for our membership applications and renewal packets. Currently, [we] have about 6 forms that are in use through the program. We hope to soon use it to collect presentation/webinar proposals as well. I guess you can say that this is being used across the whole organization since we are only a 4 staff association.

We currently use sharefile within our department to send and share documents in a secure fashion. It is used as a department within parks and recreation, but I believe the entire organization that I work for uses this program. Sometimes it shuts down randomly or won't send files as quickly as we need them to be sent.

We moved away from a previous cloud based project management service which caused us to regularly run into permissions issues and storage limits. We found the ability to send files to someone who doesn't have a Citrix account to be very easy and the unlimited storage tier is a much needed option. We struggled before with adding someone else to the project late in the process, but now we can easily give permission to a file or whole folder as needed. The Outlook plugin is also a game-changer for us, which I'll speak of in the Pros.

RightSignature allows our company to produce documents that can be digitally signed and distributed to small and large groups of people. We no longer have to rely on paper copies and scanned signatures. Also, it makes auditing those signed documents much easier with the use of reports.

We use ShareFile to store and share all of our documents as we strive to be a completely paperless office. Everyone in our company uses it to store all of our documents as well as copies of our clients' source documents and we also use it to share and receive documents from our clients. My remote employees can access it anywhere they have internet access and we know that no matter who is working on something they can always access anything they need.

I manage a real estate team for a large independent real estate brokerage. I use Citrix sharefile predominantly to store and send our contracts/other documents to the main office and to my team members. I also use it to send sensitive documents to parties when the situation calls for it, like our CPA for example. It allows me to transmit the documents which many times have large file sizes without touching the storage capacity of my Google account.

We use ShareFile to send and receive large files from clients and other law firms. We are able to serve productions of documents no matter how large through email without clogging up our mailboxes with large file attachments. Likewise we can send clients a link and they can easily transfer electronic files to us allowing access much faster than any other method.

Our entire organization uses ShareFile. It allows us to securely share, backup, store, and otherwise protect our client information. It works seamlessly without much effort on our part after the initial setup. There is very little downtime and out client like the interface and modern look of the program. Overall, we are very happy.

We primarily use ShareFile for sending large file attachments via Outlook (Windows). We are also using it as a storage tool for housing files for organization prior to ingesting them into Nuxeo (DAM), allowing both clients and users access to files for organization and management. ShareFile is also used to secure distribute sales and marketing materials to our remote devices (iOS) for offsite presentation purposes.

My company consists of a central office and several site offices at apartment buildings we own and manage. We also have leasing agents who work from a virtual office environment. We use Citrix ShareFile as a cloud-based file server for group access to forms and lease templates, floor plans and photos for each property. We also use the secured sharing capability to share leasing documents with future residents to review prior to signing their lease packets. It is a convenient and secure way for us to work cohesively from multiple office locations.

Currently, it's being used to store and organize client documents and databases. It allows clients 24/7 access to files we've built/generated for them. It's being used by multiple departments. It solves the problem of manually reaching out to clients each time an updated file has been uploaded, the platform will notify [them] on our behalf.

Currently we use Citrix Sharefile across all five of our branches including all of our advisors and staff. Sharefile solves both cloud storage and document sharing for our organization. It has become instrumental in the daily activities of our firm and all users. We also use many of the Sharefile apps including the Outlook plug in, Sharefile Sync, and the Sharefile mobile apps for Apple and Android devices.
