Granular security settings and OLP integration help to address the most stringent corporate data policies and compliance requirements.
1. Share File Works With Cloud Storage, Existing On-Premises Storage Or Can Unify Both For today's Enterprise companies, keeping up with their organizations storage needs is just part of the problem.

5. ShareFile Enterprise seamlessly Integrates With ECM Vendors For today's information-centric Enterprise, the effective and efficient management of corporate content and its access by employees is a critical need. Ineffective content management can result in reduced employee and business performance. Implementing the wrong Enterprise File Sync and Share solution has the potential to make things worse. ShareFile's Enterprise File Sync and Share solution was designed to seamlessly integrate with a company's Enterprise
Content Management (ECM) system thanks to ShareFile's StorageZones connectors (which work with Microsoft SharePoint and One Drive) and Software Developers Kit (SOK) that enables customers or partners to create a direct connection to any vendors Enterprise Content Management suite. The end result is that ShareFile, through supported connectors and SOK, provides a tight, effective integration with a customer's chosen ECM suite without need to relocate or replicate content to make it accessible.
The growing adoption of File Sync and Share solutions has driven a major expansion in the number of companies trying to address the needs of this burgeoning market. The number of companies in this space will surely shrink at the expense of vendors who have failed to fully address customer needs while remaining flexible enough to full integrate with their existing content and storage infrastructure. Very few of these vendors will be able to compare to established players such as Citrix Share File while being able to demonstrate solutions that provide Enterprise business customers with a business advantage ( user access, worker productivity, cost savings ... etc.) over what other established EFSS vendors can provide.
