Citrix Sharefile Alternative for single users?

I was disappointed to see that Citrix has changed their pricing plans and now require a minimum purchase of 5 licenses for their Sharefile product ($50/mo). This has been my go-to recommendation for a while now, but I think they have priced themselves out of the onesie-twosie market. Is anyone using another product for this job that is less expensive?

I use Teams for this, GSuite has Google Drive which can be configured centrally too.

Which is to say, my customers do not pay for this functionality, they already have it thanks to email hosting.

Yeah, I'll have to read up on that some more. You must be talking about 'Anyone Links' in Teams, right? The basic thing that needed to happen when Sharefile was the right solution was the ability of folks outside the company to send something to an employee securely. Sharefile integrates with Outlook, and folks can put "Click HERE to send me a secure file" links in their email signatures. So all anyone has to do is find a previous email from the employee and click on the link to start the process. Simple & bulletproof.

With Anyone Links, I think the employee has to be in charge of the interaction of sharing a file outwards, right? How does an external person send a document TO the employee that didn't originate FROM the employee with this tech?

Also, I think this requires E3 licenses, right? So they definitely are paying for it if they would have otherwise survived on a lower license - although definitely not as much as Sharefile - haha.

Teams can have people outside the company inside them, and depending on permissions they can drop files into folders within the Team directly via Sharepoint.

So it's a matter of configuring a Team to receive the files, the downside is people do need to have a Microsoft Login for this to all work.

OneDrive has some means for individuals to provide a folder others can upload into as well.

For single users? OneDrive.
Several different ways to apply permissions, and set a password, or have link expire (nice safe feature so you don't end up with tons of shares out there hanging out)
