#Citrix files for mac software#
Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.Citrix is a College of Engineering resource that is an easy-to-install client software that provides access to the computing tools you'll need to succeed. ShareFile just is not ready or reliable enough for heavy SMB business use. We simply cannot survive all these unresolved issues and retain our sanity.Ĭonsequently, after a tumultuous 4-year relationship with ShareFile we've decided to go to a competitor. The combination of all these unresolved frustrations sounded the death knell for our time with ShareFile. At least for now the final technician is a native English speaker, but jumping through hoops to create a ticket with very nice, but non-native English speaking phone support is just frustrating. Then they switched to offshore tech support.
We've even had workstations that NEVER sync changed files and the ShareFile support staff cannot resolve this. And if you have shared the folder with others, they also have different versions until 2, or 5, or 20 minutes elapses when the sync finally happens for everyone. This means you've got a cloud version that's different from your local version. At least the Sync tool, and even Dropbox sync, updates instantaneously. At a minimum, you must wait 2 minutes to sync even a tiny 10 Kb spreadsheet. Files are cached in some undisclosed location on your computer while you're at its mercy to sync whenever it wants. Great idea, but its implementation sucks.
#Citrix files for mac Offline#
They got the bright idea to merge the two into Citrix Files using Offline Cache. The Drive Mapper was a live connection to cloud content, useful for directly accessing cloud folders instead of using the web browser. Įarly on, there were two of many tools, Sync and Drive Mapper. But ShareFile has not updated this tool since 2019 and it's slated for End of Life status in Dec 2021. The Sync tool works well, just like Dropbox's and other competitors. Five or 20 minute wait times for content to refresh, sadly, is normal.Īnd we have 50M/50M dedicated fiber, so yeah, it's not our internet. Citrix Files app does not refresh content in a timely manner. Frequent outages (subscribe to their and you'll be aware of every outage, every freakin time) Navigating user folders in any web browser is painfully slow Takes many seconds or minutes to populate file folders Very high latency to the ShareFile cloud, whether via browser or Citrix Files app. Ah, the good old days when ShareFile was fast and support was easily accessible. My company has used ShareFile since 2017 before Citrix completely changed its business approach. In my opinion, there is a reason reviews are so bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.Īt the time I write this review, there are only 48% five star reviews and 34% four star.
It allows me to email a link so that a recipient can open and just drop files into that ultimately show up in my ShareFile folder.
Employees can use FileZilla to retrieve or send files, and we've baked in FTP to some web apps that transfer directly to user folders.Īnd the Request Files (file drop) is another amazing Outlook add-in tool. We've used it as an FTP server with great success. This tool is a godsend because uploading more than a few files through the web browser or other tools is problematic. It works flawlessly, and I use it regularly. I absolutely love their ShareFile Migration Tool for mass uploading files from our network to the cloud. The price started at $17.50 per user per month and hasn't changed in 4 years.

Unlimited storage, free access to RightSignature e-signature, secure/encrypted email module for Outlook. We had just switched our 70 users from the nightmare with a cloud competitor, so ShareFile seemed a welcome change.
