Fortune 500

The article makes the claim that Sharefile is used by 99% of the fortune 500 companies for secure file transfer, but soruces this to the company's own website which is not an independent source, and certainly for this type of information, would require some qualification. -- Whpq (talk) 17:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Revising this article

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hello to those who may have this page watchlisted. I have been working on behalf of Citrix Systems, maker of ShareFile, to look for ways to improve this article. As I have a financial COI here, I will not be making any direct edits to the article myself.

The current version of the article has excessive information about features and quite a few details that are irrelevant, promotional, or not useful to the general reader. The article conflates the company that originally developed the software and the software itself. I've prepared a new draft of the article that remedies these issues. I've reframed the focus on the product itself, and not the previous company (although it is discussed). I've significantly trimmed the article and included only pertinent details, including a Product overview section to discuss what the product does.

This new draft can be viewed in my userspace here: User:Heatherer/ShareFile

Because I have prepared this draft on behalf of Citrix I am looking for editors to help me review it and to offer any suggestions for improvement. In particular, I'd like editors to review for any technical jargon or any language that is promotional. If it seems that this new draft is better than the version in place now, I'd ask that another editor take it live, replacing the current article. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 19:32, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done The revised article is better than before, so I have implemented the suggested changes. My only change to the draft was to change "IT" in the lead to "users". It still reads a little promotionally, but I can't put my finger on any specific sentences or phrases that cause that, and it is better than it was. Thanks! — crh ₂₃ (Talk) 17:52, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much Crh23. I think your change makes sense. While I understand you don't have any specific examples right now, I'm happy to rework anything that you think reads promotionally. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 21:10, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed updates

On behalf of Cloud Software Group, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I'd like to propose three updates to this Wikipedia article. I'd like to think these are fairly straightforward updates, but I avoid editing the live space and invite others to review and implement appropriately. For easier review, I've separated out the requests:

Office building

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

In ShareFile#Acquisition_by_Citrix_Systems, after the existing sentence "A new 171,000-square-foot Raleigh office opened in October 2014 for Raleigh-based Citrix employees", I propose adding:

The office building was created using ShareFile and other software by Citrix and housed approximately 300 employees,Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). until 2023.^[1]

Rebrand

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

For the end of ShareFile#Acquisition_by_Citrix_Systems, I propose adding:

ShareFile was acquired by Cloud Software Group and separated its branding in 2023 to become a standalone business unit.^[1]^[2]

Since then, it's grown and transformed, with cloud computing company Citrix acquiring it in 2011. More recently, ShareFile was acquired by Cloud Software Group, which presented it with the opportunity to 'narrate its own evolution' in the form of a rebrand.

Computerworld ranking

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I'll let editors decide the best location, but I propose adding the following sentence:

ShareFile was included in Computerworld's 2023 list of the top ten file-sharing services.^[1]

These requests are part of an ongoing effort to update pages related to Citrix and Cloud Software Group. Thanks for reviewing! Inkian Jason (talk) 20:31, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
