Progress ShareFile alternative for white-label file sharing

Progress ShareFile is a secure file sharing and document workflow platform built for professional services — accountants, lawyers, financial advisors, and compliance-driven businesses. It handles e-signatures, document requests, and task-based client workflows well. But every share link lives on a sharefile.com subdomain, there is no custom domain option on any plan, pricing is per user with a 3-user minimum, and there is no payment gate for file downloads. Here is what agencies, studios, and small businesses use when branded file sharing at their own domain is the requirement.

Frequently asked questions

Sharebrand is a white-label file sharing platform for businesses. Files are delivered through your own custom domain with your logo on every link. Recipients never see Sharebrand's name. Unlike ShareFile, where every link lives on a sharefile.com subdomain, Sharebrand gives you full ownership of the delivery URL on every plan at a flat monthly rate.

No. ShareFile accounts use a yourcompany.sharefile.com subdomain on every plan, including the Virtual Data Room tier at $75 per user per month. ShareFile's own documentation confirms that account URLs "will always be followed with .sharefile.com or a plan-specific variant." Custom branding applies your logo and colours to the sharefile.com interface — it does not give you a domain you own. Sharebrand delivers every link at a fully owned custom domain on every plan.

Yes. ShareFile's client portal requires recipients to create a free ShareFile account and log in before accessing files or completing tasks. Client accounts are free and unlimited, but account creation adds a step to the recipient experience. With Sharebrand, recipients access files at your branded domain through a direct link with no account required.

ShareFile charges per user per month with a minimum of 3 users on most plans. Advanced at $17.60 per user starts at $52.80 per month for three people. Premium at $27.50 per user starts at $82.50 per month for three people and $137.50 per month for five. Annual billing gives the rates above — monthly billing is higher. Sharebrand Starter covers five team seats at $29 per month flat, with no per-user scaling.

Progress Software Corporation completed the acquisition of ShareFile in October 2024 for $875 million. ShareFile was previously owned by Citrix. The product still operates under the ShareFile name as part of the Progress product portfolio. Accounts previously using citrixdata.com domains migrated to sharefile.com in 2025.

No. ShareFile has no feature for charging recipients before they access or download files. Sharebrand includes a built-in payment gate on every plan. You set a price and recipients pay before downloading.

ShareFile is designed for professional services firms in accounting, legal, financial services, and healthcare. Its feature set — document request workflows, e-signature, task management, and compliance certifications — is built around those industries. For agencies and creative studios whose primary need is sharing files with clients at a branded domain, ShareFile's per-user pricing and sharefile.com URL constraint make it a poor fit for the use case.

Yes. All Sharebrand plans include a 14-day free trial with full Pro access. No credit card required. You can set up your custom domain, add your branding, and share your first branded file link before paying anything.
