Frequently asked questions
ShareFile has a long history in legal. Why switch?
ShareFile is mature, but mostly US-hosted and subject to the CLOUD Act. For a Québec law firm handling client files under professional secrecy, SecuFile provides a Canadian jurisdiction guarantee and Loi 25 compliance ready for your bar association.
Do you have e-signature?
Yes, basic e-signature (capture, timestamp, integrity certificate). For complex legal use cases (RightSignature equivalent), we recommend a specialized partner. SecuFile e-sign covers 80% of SMB needs.
Is the ShareFile modular model really more expensive?
Yes for most SMBs. ShareFile charges advanced modules (workflows, signature, integrations) on top, which can triple the real monthly cost. SecuFile bundles everything in a flat CAD price.
What is SecuFile's SLA?
99.9% availability, daily backup with 90-day retention, RPO 24h / RTO 4h. Full details in our terms of service.
