“Simple, Easy-to-Use File Transfer Program”
Pros
Hightail is very simple to use. I can easily drag and drop files of any size, and then send a link for the recipient to access the file.
Cons
When recipients receive an email that simply says "John has sent you a file," it might be better to find a more resounding way to convey the message. With the abundance of spam these days, an extra step is necessary to assure them it is legitimate.

“Easy for photo storage”
Pros
I rely a lot on Hightail. Whether it is for our photos, brand standards or sharing files, images, and videos with teammates, this platform comes in handy. Sometimes, the file size is too large to send via email and that is when Hightail saves the day.
Cons
In the five years I have been using Hightail, I haven't come across any issues.

“Send large files”
Pros
Hightail simplifies the process of sending large files. Whenever new staff members join our team, we have multiple files to share and Hightail makes it unproblematic.
Cons
The user interface could use some improvement in terms of user-friendliness. It is relatively basic, which suits our needs but could be more intuitive.
