Frequently asked questions
Your questions answered.
- How is Orangedox different from ShareFile?
- ShareFile (formerly Citrix) is a file-sharing and collaboration platform designed for secure storage and client exchange. Orangedox, by contrast, is built specifically for deal and due diligence workflows, offering real-time Google Drive and Dropbox integration, advanced document tracking, and transparent flat-rate pricing.
- Does Orangedox integrate with Google Drive and Dropbox?
- Yes. Orangedox connects directly to Google Drive and Dropbox, syncing files automatically in real time. ShareFile requires files to be uploaded to its own storage platform, so updates made in Drive or Dropbox won't sync automatically.
- Do I need to pay per user or per data room with Orangedox?
- No. Orangedox includes unlimited data rooms and allows up to 500 participants per room at no extra cost. ShareFile's pricing scales by user and storage, often increasing costs as your team grows.
- Is Orangedox more affordable than ShareFile?
- Yes. Orangedox offers a simple, flat-rate plan starting at $75 per month. ShareFile's per-user pricing and add-on costs for advanced features make it more expensive for growing teams or multiple deals.
- Can I share and track Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides with Orangedox?
- Yes. Orangedox lets you securely share and track Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides while staying synced to your Drive. ShareFile doesn't offer native Google Workspace integration or automatic syncing.
- Does Orangedox include detailed document analytics?
- Yes. Orangedox provides page-by-page analytics showing which pages each recipient viewed and for how long, helping teams identify interest and engagement. ShareFile offers general activity tracking but lacks document-level insights.
- Are there hidden or add-on fees with Orangedox?
- No. Orangedox offers transparent flat-rate pricing with no hidden or per-user fees. ShareFile's enterprise and advanced plans can include additional costs for users, features, and storage.
- Which platform is better for startups or smaller deal teams?
- Orangedox is ideal for startups, SMBs, and lean M&A teams seeking a lightweight, integrated data room experience synced with Google Drive. ShareFile is better suited for general business file sharing and client document management.
- Does Orangedox support device-level access control?
- Yes. Orangedox provides device-based authentication and access controls to ensure confidential documents are viewed securely on approved devices.
- Can I use Orangedox for M&A due diligence?
- Absolutely. Orangedox is designed for due diligence-letting teams securely share, organize, and track deal documents directly from Google Drive, without the manual uploads or per-user fees of ShareFile.
