Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Offers a wide range of apps for efficient workflow and collaboration. Features like video calls and collaborative tools are great for team projects. Effective for both personal and business file storage and management.
  • The experience with Nextcloud has been very positive as a collaborative tool in the education sector.
  • Open source. Self Hosted - perfect for home use and absolutely free. Highly secure. Available on smartphones.
  • One of the pros of Nextcloud is that it has a number of providers for free, and you can choose a provider on a single click.
  • -slower, stable growth path of scale, scope and capabilities. -APP plugin market. -integration capabilities (excellent with ONLYOFFICE). -great starter for private person with growth path into small business. -fantastic community.

Cons

  • Requires self-hosting or setting up through a Nextcloud partner. I preferred not to set it up at the moment. Although, I am capable to host it as I have hosted ownCloud earlier. I did not want to deal with port forwarding and other server related issues. So, I chose to go with a Nextcloud partner which has worked flawlessly for me.
  • To date I cannot consider a negative criterion, the developers are going in the right direction.
  • The client doesn't work well for uploading large number of small files (like old photos on phone).
  • For the time I've used the Nextcloud providers, I haven't found any issues to my attention.
  • -quality review of app plugins could be better (what works well for what version). -version handling (plugin capabilities seem to often link to specific versions). -needs to expand on developer and community efforts.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is the security of all our data in a much more immediate way, that it is based on the cloud gives us confidence and the necessary storage to upload all our documents. It is a totally confidential and personalized system; we can create our own useful and unique workspace that allows us to customize in detail adjusting the options to our work requirements. Having access from any device has opened the doors and a million possibilities for each member of the work team to access the application and exchange or receive files properly, without any type of limitation or sending capacity. It allows us to classify the documents to maintain order and organization in all our work, separating by areas, making it much more comfortable for us to search through filters or mobilize the documents. It allows us to store data, everything we want to keep safe Citrix will do it through encryption, we know that it is 100% committed to security and that absolutely everything will be in the cloud under coverage, so if we need to store something immediately, we send it to Citrix and its protection will be assured. In Citrix ShareFile we store the entire database of our clients, we can transfer each data, organize and categorize and thanks to the security that it provides us, I know that the data of each of our clients will always be safe.
  • For our organization, Sharefile has been of complete benefit because it is perfect for making important and confidential contracts relying completely on the anti-hacking security it offers. Similarly, it has partnerships and integration with Office formats that makes it easy to synchronize and store files in the cloud to share with any employee who has access to the account.
  • Simple to manage. Simple for end my users to use. Simple for my users to use with their clients. Can layer security as deep as you want.
  • It has a good integration alliance with Office and allows us to work collaboratively with all the files we have synchronized without exception. Likewise, it is useful for sharing elements to manage confidential contracts with the security that the platform provides and avoids hacking or information leaks.
  • With Sharefile all our information stored in the cloud can be easily accessible, and we can create, in addition to our own folders for purely personal use, a file box for files that we do not need at the moment, but in the long term, and a trash, with files that eventually will be deleted.

Cons

  • I find the integration with other important platforms of which I would like to guarantee the storage of data that I contain there but I have not been able to due to its lack of integration solidity. We had billing automatically and when we wanted to make some adjustments at the time it was difficult for us to do this and we had to contact support to solve it, being able to configure it on our own would be much better and more efficient. Managing the permissions is not that comfortable either, many times we need to adapt the permissions so that several colleagues are also administrators, and it is cumbersome to add them one by one as we want. It has not been an error or nothing else has happened to us, but we receive constant notifications that the system is being updated and we do not know why, why it is so constant or if it is an error. We do believe it is important that the interface be expanded with new and better tools that give us a much broader and more solid user experience when it comes to sharing, editing, and organizing files. Sometimes we find that it does not synchronize in real time, which interferes with our work, we must update many times until new data or documents appear. I think there are a couple of important points that I truly believe that if they are improved, it can make Citrix a perfectly safe and comfortable place to store each of our important data.
  • With the daily use of the application we have observed that when you have an estimated 20GB of storage usage, the platform becomes very slow and it is difficult to process certain functions. Similarly, when transferring files that exceed a weight of 1G Sharefile has an unexpected shutdown and very rarely deletes files that were previously synced.
  • There are no cons that I have come across thus far.
  • Although its specifications clarify that it has a capacity to share large files up to 100GB, we have found that the platform becomes slow and transfers are mostly cancelled. Also, we have had problems with synchronization and deletion of less heavy files without recovery option.
  • Sharefile has its own inbox for messages, but this cannot be connected to our main mailing service, so with Sharefile we cannot manage our Outlook or Gmail mailing lists automatically, forcing us to opt for purely manual management of our content.
