ShareFile review

ShareFile is built for firms whose files mostly move between staff and clients. The Advanced plan costs $16.50 per user per month billed annually with a minimum of 3 users and covers encrypted storage and sharing, secure email integrations, real-time co-editing, granular access controls and basic reporting. Premium at $26 adds the client side: a portal, e-signatures, document requests, tasks, forms and workflow automation, with support for HIPAA, FINRA and SEC compliance and AI document generation. Enterprise automates user provisioning and adds data loss protection and activity monitoring, and a separate Virtual Data Room plan handles audits, litigation and deals with watermarking and NDA enforcement. For accountants collecting tax documents or lawyers exchanging case files, that saves a separate portal and signature tool. For a team that mainly wants internal storage, it costs more than Microsoft, Google or Sync.com and puts its best features on Premium.
