If we put security and audit ability aside (which are important to my use case), second feature really worth mentioning is practicaly unlimited ability to create clients who can access your shared resources. - At one point we also used ability of sharefile to create custom web forms for uploading, and that was a huge time and resource saver too. - ShareFile has been useful for secure file sharing, especially when working with outside firms and sharing client-related folders. ### Most mentioned cons - After one sale of their company, they doubled their monthly fees with no change in services offered, many billing errors followed, billing dept was comically awful and inept, customer service department was unable to live up to agreed upon resolutions to fixing the billing department's multiple errors. - Billing and renewal communications were routed in a way that the appropriate person responsible for payment did not see them, and our firm did not receive or review the invoice until shortly before our service was cut off. - It cripples the whole tax preparation process when you cannot retrieve data from the document requests or information requests. When you reach out to the support, they never understand the issue. ## Progress ShareFile customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 442 (page 1). ### Industry grade file and sync for the Citrix world. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Anthony N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros If you are using Citrix based products such as XenDesktop and Xenapp it's a must to have.

No incentive was offered The product itself offers a mature, secure cloud solution for document management. Recent customer service experience [Feb 2025] has been abysmal! I tried changing the terms of my renewal and literally spent a day trying to track down someone, anyone, to assist. By the time someone responded, the product had renewed with no option to change. Suffice to say we are moving away from it. Get your act together, CISCO/Citrix, or whoever currently owns/manages customer service and support. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros ShareFile security [256-bit AES] is top-notch and was the selling point for me to switch my practice over to it.

ShareFile has an add-on that integrates into standard Outlook email platform. The add-on allows you to email large files using a secure third party FTP, where sensitive documents can only be accessed by permitted parties. It's easy to set permissions if you allow the document to be shared with others. Works well for cloud sharing documents and files where collaboration is needed. You can set a time duration for files to automatically delete themselves, so that makes managing storage capacity easier. #### Cons No real cons that I can think of. Perhaps for some people who are not tech savvy might have trouble setting up their personal preferences, but this could apply to any software. I found it easy and intuitive to set up using the web app, mobile app, and the Outlook extension. #### Reasons for switching to Progress ShareFile We needed a uniform cloud storage solution company wide. I was using a personal google drive to store and share files too large for email until we purchased ShareFile. --- ### Competitive Cloud Storage - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nilesh P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Airlines/ Aviation - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

These hiccups have sometimes disrupted workflows, especially when managing shared folders across teams. However, their support team has consistently been responsive and knowledgeable, helping us resolve problems quickly and effectively. --- ### Happily Working With ShareFile - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Roberta G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My experience with ShareFile is a very positive one. I found it easy to upload, share, and work remotely. I find it so much easier to navigate than Dropbox. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I never received any formal training on ShareFile, I was just invited on by an employer, and found it fairly simple to navigate. I like having the ability to securely share and edit so many documents, while keeping them all in one place. #### Cons Once in a while, I find the uploads rather slow, but that's just once in a while, not too frequently. --- ### CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: JACQUILYN S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

ShareFile has proven to be very efficient, has a one-of-a-kind cloud-based management system, and falls into the category of a deep and excellent collaboration service. Both our document management efficiency and performance have increased through centralizing and organizing data, improving collaboration, prioritizing security, and providing mobility in the workplace. Some divisions benefit greatly from it, as it fosters the productive intersection of files. It has proven to be an excellent tool for storing and exchanging documents on a regular basis, so I strongly advise its use. Too much, in fact; I think companies that rely heavily on files would greatly benefit from implementing ShareFile. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Thanks to ShareFile, I can keep a lot of information spread across reliable documents and maintain a bird's-eye view of very comprehensive document management initiatives. Its compatibility with iOS and Android has made it possible for us to view and share files from any mobile device at any time. Because of how well its servers work, it is continually updated. #### Cons Sometimes there are issues with the software while it is running, and other times there is no clear pattern of fluidity established beforehand. --- ### iSSUE WITH BILLING - NOT ABLE TO CONTACT ANYONE AT SHAREFILE - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

BUT EVERY TIME A SOFTWARE PRODUCT IS SOLD THE CUSTOMER GETS SCREWED --- ### Sharefile is a quick easy way to manage, store, host, receive, request, and transmit documents. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This software gives me a peace of mind I couldn't get through many other document repository sites. I suppose the only issue is some of my clients aren't sure how secure transmissions of unencrypted data is via the site. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I don't ever worry about Sharefile glitching. When my coworker experienced trouble syncing, she told me the support team she called stayed on the phone with her and walked her through everything and waited to make sure the issues resolved. It puts my mind at ease, which is very important when talking about all the documentation for everything I do. My business relies on my documentation. It's great knowing it's also cloud-hosted so I don't have to worry about losing access due to any potential hardware malfunctions. #### Cons I don't have much to say in terms of cons related to Sharefile's service and product. It is so straightforward and user friendly. It's intuitive - my boss was shocked when I had downloaded, synced, and set up the whole company Sharefile on my new device before he got the chance to explain what I needed to do. I attribute that to the intuitive, consistent, helpful design. --- ### Citrix ShareFile organizes data stored in the cloud in a way that makes sense - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Oleksandr K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Using ShareFile, we feel confident that even our most sensitive files are safe in the cloud. When we have something new to share, we don't hesitate to put it in the cloud, where it will be safe from prying eyes. It is incredible how much work goes into secret projects, databases and other forms of knowledge that cannot be shared. The fact that they have developed a specific program to archive documents without the risk of data theft is an excellent advantage for any company. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I would especially like to highlight the low cost of this program, as well as its ease of use and payment structure. With its intuitive cloud sync feature, sharing data is easier than ever. Everything fits together seamlessly. I find the file-uploading functionality of the interface fascinating and valuable. Since its primary function is safeguarding files, it can be used by any company or team. #### Cons Nothing has gone wrong for us, and the loading time is the only thing I have any complaints about. There are many things I like about Citrix ShareFile. --- ### Sharefile is user-friendly and has many capabilites - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Fund-Raising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It does the job and is user-friendly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It is easy enough to use and has a lot of features. We wanted more security and one program all in one. The sharing capabilities are for internal and external users. #### Cons The security and options for folder permissions. We were switching to MO 365 that already has the same capabilities with better security. --- ### A Platform for effortless document collaboration - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Yashovardhan S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Security Creating an account and getting started is simple, with an interactive and user-friendly interface. There are many of resources accessible online to learn more about the platform. Citrix enables easy access for both Windows and Mac users. One login for all data, all data is easily accessible and kept in one location, and it can be utilized offline. Easy collaboration because you may add anyone to the folder and send them the necessary document. Workflows and exact control over what information can be shared. Outlook plugin is really useful since it sorts the cluttered email inbox. #### Cons The Pricing can be more competitive. I found it a bit expensive . --- ### Not great for collaboration - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Brooke B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I use this platform when I want to store final versions of documents that I want to share with others, while controlling who has access in an easy to use way. #### Cons In today's virtual environment, where online collaboration is essential, I find ShareFile to be cumbersome to use. For collaborative files, our organization turns to Google Drive (internal) and One Drive (for internal and external collaboration). --- ### Citrix ShareFile simple interface makes it great for file sharing. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Andrei P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Citrix is the best option if you are starting to use file sharing softwares or works in a small company. It has a simple interface that is intuitive for the employees and the clients. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The interface is simple and straightforward for all users, making it the best tool to start with. #### Cons As your company grows it will start to have different needs and the software lack of features makes it hard to keep up. #### Reasons for switching to Progress ShareFile I was working with a small team. --- ### Best tool to share big files! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: aanchal v. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The feature that I love the most is that I do not have to checkin any document. Its simple drag and drop feature makes it very easy to use. Every time I have a big file to share, Sharefile is always my first preference. Unlike other file sharing tools, Sharefile lets you share a direct link with anyone. The person at the other end does not really have to worry about the whole file structure, the only thing visible is the one particular file that has been shared. #### Cons Though the tool is extremely easy to use, there is no lock feature available. If the environment were to be accessed by multiple users at the same time, there could be version related issues. Though the different versions can be seen easily yet this tool does not seem to have the required amount of sophistication required for a very professional setup. --- ### THINGS ARE CHANGING - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Tim B. - Industry: Medical Practice - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Well, after around 10 years of using Sharefile without any issues and only using customer support about 2-3 times we were told that the charges would be basically multiplying by ten times the amount and if we didn't like it, TOO BAD!!!! No negotiation, no warning period (don't consider a 30-60 window after being told you're screwed to quit service or pay a valid warning), no understanding, just "do this or else... don't like it, we don't care.... see ya later scrub." Very unprofessional and in my opinion can and maybe will break your company. With a marketing plan/ploy like that where you corner customers and then on top of that don't care about them in the slightest sense you are heading for disaster. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I liked that it was affordable, easy to use, and we could do more if we wanted to. The actual log in and navigation was easy to use for the most part after some updates and the customer care used to be okay the few times I needed it. #### Cons They have now hiked up the prices basically telling Small/Medium Businesses to pay up or leave (only about a 30-60 day window to decide do I want to pay more or not). For most small businesses it's an easy choice as alternative affordable pricing is out there all over as I found. I guess they only care about big time companies now that they are "Big Time". Lol, while searching for them I see that they were one of best in 2017... big heads? Seems to be the case. I think this new change will make everything they were doing go down hill fast... good luck shareholders (if they are public). --- ### Document collaboration - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Sharefile is a good option for a team that needs to share documents and collaborate together across many platforms. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Sharefile makes it easy to work on documents across teams, it's possible to create different structures for different teams, and to share documents across locations. #### Cons For those who are not used to collaborating online, training may be required. --- ### Great cloud storage service for file transferring - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Adra Safiya K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's elementary to use and requires no prior experience. The file synchronization is excellent, and we can exchange files from anywhere. We may create links to the files and email them to you. Each file can have access controls applied to it, preventing an permitted-less user from obtaining it. #### Cons Users can only examine zip files in read-only mode, which is a disadvantage. The content upload speed is abysmal and should be improved. When comparing to other competitors, it is rather costly and i believe it is the most expensive on the market. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/data-management/sharefile-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Progress ShareFile Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
