Progress ShareFile is a cloud-based file sharing and storage platform enabling businesses to securely send, receive, and manage documents and client communications.

Summary

Progress ShareFile is a paid, subscription-based document sharing and client collaboration platform aimed at organizations in regulated industries such as accounting, financial services, insurance, healthcare, and legal, where secure file exchange and audit-friendly workflows matter. It's used through a web interface, desktop apps for Windows and Mac, mobile clients for iOS and Android, and integrations with Outlook and Gmail, with an Enterprise tier offering self-hosted data storage through a storage zones controller for organizations that need to control where data lives. Client-facing teams get request lists, forms, and e-signature through RightSignature, alongside admin-focused tooling like session management, a security insights dashboard, and single sign-onsingle sign-onSingle sign-on, using one identity provider to sign in to multiple applications. It reduces separate passwords and centralizes account and access management. options. It positions itself less as a niche point tool and more as a hub meant to replace app-switching across separate file-sharing and e-signature products.

How Progress ShareFile helps

Which outstanding document requests from clients still need action across every project I manage?

pulls all Request Lists and Forms into a single Tasks Workspace so status can be checked without opening each project folder individually

Where are the gaps in documents clients were supposed to upload?

validates client-uploaded files against the original request specifications and flags mismatches automatically

Who has access to a client's files and how do I get a signature without another tool?

routes signature requests through RightSignature from within the platform, including directly from Outlook, so the document, request, and signed copy stay in one thread

Which of my users are logged in right now, and can I force one out?

lists every active session per user under personal and admin views, and lets an admin end sessions or require re-authentication after a password change

Is there anything unusual happening on our account from a security standpoint?

surfaces a dashboard of real-time alerts, event breakdowns, geographic login context, and remediation status at both the account and individual-user level

Does closing out a finished client project actually lock down the records for compliance?

marks all associated cases closed and sets the project's content to read-only so nothing in it can be altered afterward
