ShareFile is a secure content collaboration, file sharing and sync software that supports all the document-centric tasks and workflow needs of small and large businesses.

Jesse Lipson, a self-taught programmer, built and launched ShareFile in November 2005 in Raleigh, North Carolina.

With the acquisition, Lipson became vice president and general manager of a new data sharing division within Citrix under the deal.

The software has a client-portal feature businesses can set up and customize to allow outside vendors and clients access to specific projects and files.

It runs on the AWS Cloud, but sets aside specific virtual servers to host protected health information (PHI).
