Overall Satisfaction with Citrix ShareFile

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.
  • Saving files in folders for the team in addition to an in-house server
  • Sending large files to clients instead of through Outlook
  • Having the option to hide certain team members from certain folders
  • Option to send just a PDF document via email through ShareFile - is this even possible?
  • Option to add "temporary" clients and only pay when you send them a document? Pay as you go kind of thing.
  • ShareFile has allowed us to more efficiently share large files with our clients. If we did not have this system we would have to break down files into multiple attachments, which could affect the quality of the final product, thus affecting client relationships.
  • ShareFile has not negatively effected our ROI by any means. Its price is fair, and we are much better off with it than without it.
ShareFile is absolutely needed for a company that uses large file documents. Microsoft Office will limit the size of the documents being sent, and when you work in a marketing company where design files are being sent that are frequently going to be hitting that limit, Sharefile is necessary. ShareFile is less suited for those companies that have a cloud server where documents can be accessed anywhere at anytime. Also, if you are a company that is rarely sharing large files with each other or clients, this is not really needed.
