Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

As a law firm security of confidential data is very important. With ShareFile we have the trust that documents we send to clients or other counsel are encrypted and remain secure during transfer.
It is now easy for our firm to serve large data sets on opposing counsel without the necessity of having to burn CD's and overnight ship them to other offices.
With ShareFile, our clients have an easy way to quickly and conveniently send data to our office.

Alternatives Considered

We have used Dropbox and evaluated other file sharing services before getting ShareFile, but we found that ShareFile was more secure and more cost-efficient than other services.

Other Software Used

Likelihood to Recommend

ShareFile is well suited for use in transferring large files, as well as providing encrypted security during the transfer of those files keeping the data secure. It is less needed when only attaching one or two small files to an email, however if those files are confidential, using ShareFile is absolutely appropriate for keeping the data secure.
