ShareFile (by Citrix) is a secure file transfer tool heavily used by accountants and law firms for sending sensitive client data. It is a "digital courier." Colabra is a "digital analyst." ShareFile helps the seller send the zip file; Colabra helps the buyer understand what is inside it.
ShareFile is optimized for transmission. It handles large file sizes and encrypted transfers better than email. Its job ends once the file lands in your download folder. It is a logistics tool.
Colabra's job begins when the file arrives. We automatically unzip, index, and classify the dump. We turn the transfer into a workspace, allowing your team to triage thousands of documents simultaneously without managing version control in a local folder.
Once you download a file from ShareFile, it is dead data. If the seller updates the version, you won't know. Colabra maintains a live link to the deal data, tracking new uploads and version changes to ensure your risk analysis is always based on the latest evidence.
ShareFile delivers what the seller sent. It cannot tell you what they didn't send. Colabra's Gap Analysis compares the received files against your diligence checklist to highlight the missing items—proving that the "complete" data dump was actually missing the last two years of tax returns.
