Citrix ShareFile Primary Use Case

David Donaldson - PeerSpot reviewer
Regional Information Technology Director at a real estate/law firm with 10,001+ employees

The primary use case of the solution is to help send large files to clients who would block other large file transfer sites, for example, they tended to be fairly large financial institutions, and share file was one of the file-sharing platforms that they didn't block on their firewall. ShareFile itself has a file repository, so we can upload files that we need to send or we need to share with those clients what we do is via an email link that ShareFile generates we send the link to that file to the client who clicks on the link, then downloads the file, and does whatever that they need to do with it.

It's a user-friendly, secure, data-sharing collaboration tool.

In COVID, there was a boom. There were a lot of users who wanted to send in to seek the data. There's a file phase, which you can send across to ShareFile, which is an entirely secure communication with multifactor authentication. It's up to 100GB.

You can share files sized up to 100GB. That's the limit defined by Citrix for end users. It doesn't take much time. Obviously, they won't see around 100GB. However, 2GB or 3GB of data, or even 5GB of data would take hardly three or four minutes to get uploaded and sent to the end users.

We use ShareFile to share groups of documents (typically architectural projects) with external consultants, clients, contractors, and other parties. When new files are added to a project folder in ShareFile, team members receive a notification of the new files being available. We also use the Outlook integration to enable the sending and receiving of very large files via e-mail.
