ShareFile by Progress is a secure platform for external collaboration, specifically tailored to the needs of various industries.

Use ShareFile alongside your existing tools, such as Microsoft 365, to cover the entire document lifecycle.

ShareFile has been purpose‑built for regulated and document‑intensive industries to enable secure collaboration. Files can be shared with customers, suppliers and partners, documents collected from external parties, contracts sent for electronic signature and the full document lifecycle managed within a secure workspace tailored to your organisation.

The Microsoft 365 environment is extended with client portals that require no login, secure external file sharing and eIDAS‑compliant electronic signatures, all brought together within a single secure, regulated workspace.

• Deliver a professional, on‑brand customer experience with real‑time interaction tracking
• Protect sensitive data through granular access controls for external sharing
• Support compliance with regulatory and governance requirements
• Close contracts faster with eIDAS‑compliant electronic signatures

The electronic signature functionality integrated into ShareFile supports the requirements of the eIDAS Regulation (EU No 910/2014) for legally binding digital signatures in all EU member states.

• Request, edit, review and sign documents, then save them in a single secure workspace
• No separate electronic signature tool required, as signing functionality is fully integrated into ShareFile
• A complete audit trail for every signature process, recording who signed, when and from where
• Compatibility with Word add‑in templates for repeatable contract workflows
• Secure storage of signed documents in a controlled, compliant repository from day one

The eIDAS‑compliant signature capability in ShareFile includes: 

• Support for advanced electronic signatures (AES) and qualified electronic signatures (QES) 
• Integration with qualified trust service providers (QTSPs) for identity verification 
• A secure, unified workspace for document preparation, signing and storage 
• Comprehensive audit trails to support compliance and governance 

ShareFile supports the compliance standards required in highly regulated industries, without the need for additional licences or Microsoft add‑ons.

ShareFile integrates smoothly with the tools your team already uses every day.

• Outlook plug‑in – Send large files directly by email or request them from recipients. Insecure attachments are replaced with secure, trackable links.
• OneDrive and SharePoint connectors – Sync and share files from Microsoft storage without exposing internal environments to external users.
• Word add‑in – Create reusable document templates and send them for electronic signature without leaving Microsoft Word.
• Microsoft 365 apps – Collaborate with external parties on ShareFile‑hosted Microsoft documents without requiring Microsoft licences or guest accounts.
