Overall Satisfaction with Citrix ShareFile

I use it kind of like Dropbox, as a place to securely store clients' tax files and tax returns. I love that I can easily invite clients to set up an account and grant them access to just their specific folder. It is wonderful that it is both cloud-based and desktop-based, like Dropbox and they auto-sync generally pretty seamlessly. This works great for being able to password protect sensitive documents, UNLIKE Dropbox.
  • Secure storage
  • Ease of use for clients
  • Plenty of storage space
  • Unlimited client users
  • Email templates
  • The "Note" feature in the cloud-based version does not show up in the desktop version
  • Expensive for more than one firm-level user
  • Easy, affordable solution for letting me go paperless- HUGE savings in not having to print out tax returns!
  • Secure way to share documents with clients without a lot of time consumption
  • Easy to find and organize files and documents
Dropbox Business makes it really difficult to share individual folders collaboratively with a PASSWORD with outside users. I didn't realize this until I was locked in for a year, so I was mad. Citrix allows for storage that is useful to me and secure for the clients.
I haven't needed it for awhile, which is a good indication of the product for sure. A year or so ago I was having some trouble with the product and did find it difficult to get assistance from support, but I can't really speak to how that may have changed in the last year. Things have gone smoothly for almost a year now!

Would you buy ShareFile again?

Yes

This has been the perfect, affordable solution for my one-person business. However, if I had additional employees, I don't know that this is the tool that I would use. It gets very expensive to have multiple firm-level users. My clients have generally been able to use it without trouble, which is a huge plus. It seems to be widely accepted by the accounting community, so I feel that it is trustworthy from a sensitive data standpoint.
