CONCLUSION

The main benefit of OneDrive is that it’s included in Office 365 Business Premium so there is no extra cost and is tightly integrated with their applications such as Word & Excel enabling easy co-authoring and collaboration.

ShareFile is the winner of our Best File Sharing Software Award. It offers a variety of advanced, secure, and smooth file sharing features to suit the needs of every business.

So which one is better?.

Every business is different and so are their file sharing requirements.

One aspect that will make the decision easier is whether your organisation has to comply with the recent Data Breach Notification Scheme. Generally if you turnover more than $3mil annually or deal with personal information such as those in the health and finance industries, ShareFile has superior security and administrative control features plus ShareFile allows custom branding and the killer feature – View only sharing! You can share a private document and the viewer will not be able to share, download, print or copy.

Overall, we will recommend ShareFile to most clients, however, if you are a very small business and do not share many files, OneDrive for Business may be suitable.

We highly recommend all businesses to conduct an IT & Security Review to assess the best solution.
