Frequently asked questions

Is ShareAndGo a good alternative to ShareFile?

Yes, especially for NZ firms that want a data room with flat pricing rather than per-user seats. ShareAndGo stores documents in Sydney and offers flat NZD pricing with a free trial, AI search and PII detection, and deal features like Q&A. ShareFile, now part of Progress, focuses on secure file sharing and client portals and also sells a separate Virtual Data Room plan, all priced per user.

How does pricing compare?

ShareAndGo is flat-rate in NZD (NZ$29/NZ$59/NZ$99 a month) with external recipients free on every paid plan. ShareFile uses per-user subscription tiers with a minimum of 3 users (5 on the Virtual Data Room plan), so costs scale with the number of internal users.

Is my data stored in Australia?

With ShareAndGo, yes: documents are stored in Sydney (Google Cloud australia-southeast1). ShareFile offers a Sydney storage zone on request through its support team; by default its data is stored at the location nearest the administrator.

Does ShareAndGo do e-signatures like ShareFile?

ShareFile has built-in e-signature on Premium and above. ShareAndGo provides e-signing via its sister product SignAndGo, and focuses the core product on the secure data room, audit trail and AI.

What is ShareFile better at?

ShareFile is a mature, well-integrated secure file-sharing and client-portal tool, with built-in e-signature and broad per-user deployment across a firm, a good fit if that is your primary need.

Can I try ShareAndGo for free?
