About FileInvite
Eliminate the monotony of back-and-forth emails. Gather all the documents, signatures, and data you require up to 80% faster.
Simple for clients to use and simple for our staff to use. Love the google drive integration and how it renames the files as per your request items.
Pretty quick learning curve (especially if you're using it regularly), but frustrating only in that it feels more difficult than it needs to be.

Thanks for your feedback! Occasionally, clients click the 'I'm Finished' button before they are done, which marks the Invite as returned. In these instances, you can simply reopen the invite and reach out via in-app messaging to clarify what documents are still required. I hope this helps! Please reach out to us at [email protected] if there is something else going on, we'd be very happy to assist.
Great for business growth
Comments: Overall FileInvite is fantastic, you really have a great product and it meets all the needs of what we were looking for originally.
Pros:
Pros: SMS feature, email feature, auto reminders, simple to use, easy to train new staff, organization is easy, flexible and clean, ability to have templates with hyper links is great. We've had the ability to grow our business because on boarding a new client is so much more streamlined and organized. I am very happy we found you guys.
Cons:
Really no complaints, just some suggestions. We really wish there was a way to toggle off and on per invite the default template messaging when a client receives a new invite. 9/10 times its fine, but occasionally we need the default template wording to be different and the only way to change it is to change the universal language for the entire account, save it, go back to the invite, send it and then go back again and change the template back (and hopefully you remember to change it back). Also, we wish that if a client starts responding to the requests that the reminder notifications would automatically turn off. We've had complaints from clients that will start sending data in and then get an email telling them to send data in :)

Its great however it is a long winded path to get into drop box
Pros:
I like how all uploaded info can go straight to our clients efile into their personalised file under drop box,
Cons:
Not liking the amount of clicks you need to go thr ough to get to the path in their efile under our drop box.
Great software, easy way to share documents and save time organizing files!
Comments: Being able to manage files received by customers and also send them files with notes. The way we are able to communicate through the software is also awesome. I do recommend this file to all business owners, you will always need this type of software.
Pros:
You can just upload all documents to the same place, and have your customers also uploading. Everything will be there, so next time you are looking for something, you won't have to go searching everywhere. The best of it all is that if you make a mistake when requesting a document, you can go back and edit it. It's so easy to manage files and add notes to it! Also, you can communicate with customers through it. Did I mention that it also transforms files to PDF automatically, making it easy to access through your phone or notebook? This is the one software we need to manage our files. Very easy and simple to use.
Cons:
Sometimes it will take a little while to upload files, but that could also be an issue with our connection. Let me also note that it is very rare to have an upload or download that will take long to complete, but it does happen occasionally.
FileInvite
Comments: Document collation is an important part of our process. Prior to using this system we would normally have clients emailing documents to our email address. The risk to this is of emails being missed in among the volume of emails we get and the process not operating smoothly.
Pros:
Our clients find FileInvite easy to use which is our ultimate aim when using this type of document collation service. Once set-up it is easy for us to manage the process with documents being converted into PDF and transferred into our online system automatically ready for us to check and utilize for our clients application.
Cons:
When we use our templates there are times that some of the documents being requested within the template are not required for the client involved. We can only delete one document at a time. It would be great if we could check the documents we don't need and then press delete rather than having to delete each one individually.
Great Software
Pros:
I love that its easy for my clients to use
Cons:
That i can only do 25 requests a month and i need more than that in a given month sometimes.

Enjoying this application.

Facilitates collection of different documents very easy. Allows to collect different information, efile it and forward to the clients in an efficient manner. Like the automated reminders.
Cons:
Would be very helpful to have some additional features added, like a time stamp, for a example.
Useful for accounting and tax firm owners
Comments: Its secure and fast to use. Its fairly simple from the user side and theres lots of tutorials for clients. The price point is great and I love that there is a free version also available.
Pros:
I love the ease and security of use. Its quick to send and receive documents from clients. I like that there is video tutorials available for clients who are not familiar with this sort of technology. Perfect for small tax firms and owners with independent service based businesses.
Cons:
Would be useful to add some simple formulas to the forms. Also, the delete function can be improved. It takes forever to delete unwanted documents.

FileInvite Review
Pros:
FileInvite is very easy to navigate with great features to communicate between clients and myself. A very secure platform that allows for us to upload confidential files without worrying. The automated follow ups are an excellent feature that save a lot of time and provides timely reminders. The ability to save files as PDF instead of pictures saves a lot of time.
Cons:
No major issues have been experienced with FileInvite.

Thank you for your review, Santino. We are glad that our automated follow-up and auto PDF-conversions are saving you time!
Huge Time Saver!
Comments: This software was a lifesaver for our workflow! We used to spend hours chasing clients for the documents we need from them to start their application, not anymore. This software does all the chasing, and keeps everything in one place. I can now see exactly which documents have been sent to us and which ones we are still waiting for, and they're not all scattered through my email inbox. I absolutely LOVE the automatic dropbox sync. As soon as the client uploads their documents they instantly show up in an neat and tidy folder on my computer. Feedback from our clients using the software has been great, and we have noticed a massive increase in the speed that they return us the files too.
Pros:
Everything is in one place and I don't have to remember to follow up the clients.
Cons:
Can't reply to in-app messages by email.
Reliable Onboarding tool
Comments: Satisfactory
Pros:
Ease of using file invite tool. No API integration etc.
Cons:
Some of the features such as daily, weekly and monthly reminders are missing. The back page is a bit difficult.

Pros:
Keeps all the documents I need precisely where I need them and allows me to create my own templates.

Needs to add the functionality for two people to sign the same document. Would like more options for sending reminders.

Hey James, thanks for the awesome review! We stoked that you're enjoying the ease of use for yourself and your clients.
Very helpful for our users
Pros:
Secure docs and conversion to pdf This has been a helpful tool that has cut down on time and made it streamlined to review docs. Integration with google drive is also convenient
Cons:
Access for the individual user is managed by administrators and I'd like to see the individual having more access
File invite is a game changer
Comments: Saves time, keeps things organized.
Pros:
Saves a lot of time and keeps things arranged and avoids multiple emails from clients with documents all over the place.
Cons:
The lack of other languages, mainly French and Russian. I live in a country where people sometimes don't necessarily fluent in English. To have an option of other languages will be wonderful!

Secure document collection
Comments: I found using this platform to be secure and allows us peace of mind during document transfers.
Pros:
It allows to create a secure portal to collect documents. It gives us peace of mind rather than using email its much more secure.
Cons:
Initial set up and learning how to use it took some time. Once we get it going we all agreed there wasn't a better solution.
We have been using this site for about a month. It is very good. Fileinvite does all the follow up
Comments: Makes our job easier by chasing up documents on our behalf. Looks more professional, clients are impressed.
Pros:
Its ease of operation, easy to use. Clients like it. Once you load your requests, FileInvite follows up the client by email or sms. You get regular updates as to the progress. Clients are happy knowing that their information is being uploaded in a secure environment.
Cons:
As yet a broker app is not available and the site is not mobile friendly. I understand they are working on it.

Great tool, great support
Comments: Customer service is fast and friendly.
Pros:
This platform makes it easy to collect and collate documents. Individuals I am collecting items from find it easy to use and report that it makes a complicated course reporting process more straightforward.
Cons:
Nothing. I found it easy to integrate with other platforms. Whenever I've encountered a challenge, FileInvite customer support has responded to my message within hours.
Awesome Software
Comments: Simplify the contact with clients and all files are kept out of my inbox where they can be missed, and so keeps things organised and clients have an easy set of instructions on what to do.
Pros:
Keeps files out of my inbox and easily managed via file invite, auto reminders for my clinets, can customise what list of items are asked for, and links to various other software like Box, Dropbox or Google Drive,
