Sharefile

Secure document workflow and file sharing platform with a dedicated legal vertical. Originally founded as a file-sharing tool, acquired by Citrix in 2011, spun out under Cloud Software Group, then acquired by Progress Software in 2023 for $875M. ShareFile for Legal offers matter-specific document workflows, client portal with secure file requests, integrated e-signatures (RightSignature), AI document assistant, and Legal Client Intake and Engagement solution. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. HIPAA, SEC, FINRA compliance support. 256-bit encryption at rest and in transit. Strong Reddit presence among law firm users — recommended in r/LawFirm and r/paralegal for secure file sharing. Pricing: Premium plan at $125/month for 5 users (per LawSites); plans range from $16/month (personal) to enterprise VDR. Competitors in legal document management include NetDocuments, iManage, Box, and Dropbox Business. Not a full DMS competitor — positioned as secure file sharing and client collaboration rather than matter-centric document management. ADVOS Legal case study: saved over an hour of manual work per client onboarding. LawSites covered renewed legal market push in 2024-2025 with new legal-specific features.
