Onehub

Overview

Onehub is a Seattle-based cloud file-sharing service that also offers a dedicated Data Room edition for teams that need permissioned, auditable document sharing. Unlike tools built solely for transactions, Onehub started life as a general secure file-sharing product and layered virtual data room features on top. That heritage shapes where it fits: it is approachable and flexible, and it works well for organisations that want one platform for everyday sharing and the occasional structured process. We ran a hands-on trial in June 2026, creating a room, uploading a representative diligence file set, and testing the permission and watermarking controls.

Features

The Data Room edition brings the controls you would expect for due diligence: granular folder and file permissions, dynamic watermarking, two-factor authentication, and customisable click-through NDAs that gate access before a counterparty can view material. Activity tracking logs who opened what and when, which gives you a basic audit trail. Higher tiers add white-label branding, so a room can carry your firm’s identity rather than Onehub’s, and unlimited storage means large property files, CADs or financial models will not push you into overage charges. Document preview handles common Office and PDF formats in-browser without downloads.

Where Onehub is lighter is deal-specific tooling. There is no purpose-built Q&A workflow module of the kind sell-side advisers lean on, and AI features such as auto-redaction or bidder engagement scoring are not part of the offering. For a straightforward diligence exercise that is rarely a problem; for a large, competitive M&A process it can mean more manual admin.

The New Zealand angle

For NZ users, Onehub covers the security fundamentals that legal advisers ask about under the Privacy Act 2020: encryption in transit and at rest, access logging, permissioned exports and two-factor authentication. It also holds recognised certifications, including ISO 27001 and SOC attestations, which helps when counsel or a board wants assurance about how data is handled. The main caveat is support: Onehub is US-based, so you will not get help in Auckland business hours, and the product is not tuned to ANZ transaction norms the way a locally built room is. For a low-stakes or internal process that gap is minor; for a time-sensitive deal it is worth weighing.

Pricing

Onehub’s paid tiers scale from inexpensive team file-sharing plans up to the Data Room edition. Indicative NZD pricing for the Data Room tier is around NZD $620/month, which typically covers five users, with additional users charged on top. A free trial lets you evaluate it on a real file set before committing. That structure can represent good value for smaller teams that also want an everyday file-sharing tool, but confirm current pricing and user counts directly with Onehub, as tiers and NZD conversion move over time. All figures here are indicative and marked as such.

Who it is best for

Onehub suits New Zealand SMBs, property syndicators and startups running simpler, less adversarial diligence or investor sharing, especially those who value one flexible platform for both routine file sharing and structured rooms. Teams running large, competitive M&A processes, or those who need local ANZ support and deal-native Q&A and AI tooling, will likely be better served elsewhere. For deal-heavy ANZ transactions it is worth comparing against Ansarada and Datasite, while a lighter, self-serve alternative like Ellty is worth a look.

FAQ

Is Onehub a real virtual data room?

Yes. Onehub offers a dedicated Data Room edition with watermarking, NDA gating, granular permissions and activity tracking. It began as a general file-sharing tool, so it is more flexible but less deal-specialised than rooms built only for M&A.

How much does Onehub cost in New Zealand?

Indicative pricing for the Data Room edition is around NZD $620/month, generally covering five users with extra users charged separately. Pricing is set in US dollars, so the NZD figure is indicative only, confirm current rates directly with Onehub.

Is Onehub secure enough for NZ due diligence?

It covers the essentials: encryption in transit and at rest, two-factor authentication, permissioned access and logging, plus recognised certifications including ISO 27001 and SOC attestations. Always verify the current certification scope for your specific requirements.

Does Onehub offer New Zealand support?

No. Onehub is US-based and does not provide dedicated ANZ-hours support. For local support consider Ellty or Ansarada.

Who should choose Onehub?

Smaller NZ teams, property syndicators and startups wanting one flexible platform for both everyday file sharing and simpler diligence. Larger, competitive deals are better matched to deal-native rooms.
