ShareFile Social sign in

With social sign in functionality, users can use their existing social accounts, such as Google and Microsoft (AppleID coming soon), to authenticate into a ShareFile account.

NOTE:

Social sign in must be enabled by a ShareFile administrator. End-user configuration is available only if social sign-in functionality is enabled at the ShareFile account level.
