ShareFile allows you to try before you buy with the Try Free option. This article provides you the steps necessary to get started with a free ShareFile trial plan.

Notes:

ShareFile provides a one-time free trial offer. ShareFile reserves the right to terminate your free trial before the specified end date or require you to switch to a paid plan to continue usage of the account.

If you have previously created a free trial, you may be required to convert your free trial to a paid account, or your free trial account may be canceled.

If ShareFile determines that you are using your free trial for a non-business purpose or in a potentially illegal or unethical way, your free trial may be terminated without notice. ShareFile also reserves the right to terminate your free trial for other reasons not outlined above, at the discretion of ShareFile.
