ShareFile
ShareFile is a secure content collaboration, file sharing and sync software that supports all the document-centric tasks and workflow needs of small and large businesses. The company also offers cloud-based or on-premises storage, virtual data rooms and client portals. ShareFile is owned by Progress Software Corporation.
Jesse Lipson, a self-taught programmer, built and launched ShareFile in November 2005 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Lipson created ShareFile after several of his website design clients asked him to build a password-protected area where they could set up folders and exchange business files with their clients. He felt FTP sites of the time were insufficient and saw an opportunity to create a web-based product. ShareFile launched without a free version or outside funding, and focused on acquiring only business customers.
By 2011, ShareFile had 3 million users in 100 countries. ShareFile was included on the Inc. 500 list of Fastest Growing Private Companies in both 2010 and 2011.
In October 2011, ShareFile was acquired by Citrix Systems. Under terms of the agreement, ShareFile was offered as a standalone service in addition to its software becoming integrated into Citrix products. With the acquisition, Lipson became vice president and general manager of a new data sharing division within Citrix under the deal. As of 2016, Lipson is corporate vice president and general manager of cloud services, which includes ShareFile and Citrix Workspace Cloud.
A new 171,000-square-foot Raleigh office opened in October 2014 for Raleigh-based Citrix employees. The office building was created using ShareFile and other software by Citrix and housed approximately 300 employees, until 2023. As of April 2015, ShareFile had 55,000 corporate customers and 40 million users.
After the merger of Citrix and TIBCO Software formed Cloud Software Group, ShareFile separated its branding in 2023 to become a standalone business unit. It was included in Computerworld's 2023 list of the top ten file-sharing services.
On October 31, 2024, Progress Software Corporation announced that it had completed the purchase of ShareFile for $875 million. Additionally, it reported that the acquired company could provide more than 86,000 customers to the Massachusetts-based firm.
