People often ask us for ways to share files with suppliers, partners and remote workers when those files are too big to be sent as email attachments. After testing a few different approaches we’ve found the easiest way to do it.

One solution has been to set up an FTP site but that can be cumbersome for non-IT people. If hosted on your internal network, it could swamp your internet connection, or even provide a way in for hackers.

Having evaluated various sharing websites, we have found what seems to be the perfect solution in a new service called ShareFile. You can even brand it to look like your web site.

It ticks all the boxes for what we needed:

• Data stored externally
• Secure and encrypted data storage and transfer
• Easy to use for anyone, specialist or not
• Easy to control access for different recipients
• Low cost

ShareFile offer a free trial on www.sharefile.com. If you want to try it out for 30 days without having to submit a credit card, please call me at ISN on 020 7313 9900.
