ShareFile: The secure portal for Dean Dorton Clients

Dean Dorton will create your ShareFile Portal account for you. Once the account is created, you will receive an email indicating: “You have been added to the Dean Dorton Share File Portal Account. Please click the link below to activate your account.”

Open this message for a link to activate your new account.

After activating your account, proceed to confirm your personal information and assign a password unique to you. You will then be logged into the account that was created for you.

You may log in to your portal at any time. Tip: Add the Sharefile link to your browser bookmarks to find it easier in the future.

Go to the ShareFile login page and click “forgot password.” The system will ask you for your email address and send you a password reset email. Follow the instructions in the email to complete the reset process.

Once you log in, you will be taken to the Portal Dashboard. Click on “Folders” on the left menu bar and then “Shared Folders.” Click on the folder labeled with your personal or business name.

There are two ways to upload documents:

1. Drag your files right into the web browser

2. Click the blue circle + icon and choose Upload

ShareFile recommends waiting for uploads to finish before navigating away from the folder menu.

No upload button?

You can only upload files to folders to which you have Upload Permissions. If you do not see the Create Folder or Create Shared Folder options after clicking the + icon, or do not have the green action button at all, contact our firm to obtain Upload permissions.

1. Navigate to the folder in your ShareFile account that contains the file you wish to download
2. Click the checkbox next to the file(s) you want to download and then click “Download” on the top menu bar
3. You will then be prompted to save the file to your local hard drive on your computer
