Hightail Reviews

“Very useful creative collaboration software for heavy media files

Pros

When collaborating with remote teams, Hightail proved unbelievably valuable for seamless communication and quick issue resolution.

Cons

While the positives of the software are worth mentioning, I must say that the pricing is a bit high for smaller companies.

“Sharing, Editing, Singing & Managing Files Made Simple

Pros

The file tracking feature of Hightail is a standout for me. It allows me to monitor sent and received files on different dates. Moreover, the data-sharing notification feature adds a professional touch and ensures well-managed file sharing.

Cons

The free account has limited storage space of only 2 GB, and the maximum file size for uploads is just 250 MB, which is quite low compared to other similar cloud storage providers available.

“Sharing files never been so easy!

Pros

The simplicity and user-friendliness of Hightail are remarkable. It provides a shareable link for each space I create which allows me to segment different files with an ease.

Cons

I dislike how the account reaches its storage limit, and even after deleting files, it still doesn't allow for adding more.

“Great for File Sharing

Pros

As someone who frequently deals with large files for paid recordings, Hightail has been a fantastic solution for file sharing.

There are no negatives at all. The free option allows for files under 100MB, and even the prices for the pro version are affordable. I highly recommend it for handling large files.

“Great for sending large files

“Better when it was yousendit!

Pros

Hightail is a simple yet purposeful tool.

Cons

The rebranding was not necessary I believe and the availability of things are more than what I required.

“Hightail for Advertising Agency

Pros

Hightail is an excellent service for sharing large files. It simplifies the uploading process and offers tracking capabilities.

Cons

When sharing a link, it is important to pay attention to its expiration, as it can sometimes expire relatively quickly. Additionally, recipients may encounter difficulties downloading the files if they don't have the necessary plugins installed on their computers.

“Great Sharing Software

Pros

Using spaces in Hightail is beneficial as it makes it easy for customers to review their proofs.

Cons

There isn't anything I dislike about it. I am satisfied with the entire experience.

“Too many features

Pros

Hightail contains great features and functionality. It is easy to implement and train new staff members on the software.

Cons

Initially, we had YouSendIt for file transfers through our website. It would be great to have a "lite" version that offers the same simplicity as this service.

“Never Used it

Pros

We didn't use this software on our own so it is not possible for us to talk about pros or benefits it offer.

Cons

The lack of communication was frustrating. We didn't receive any statements or invoices.

“AssetLibrary

Pros

Hightail proves to be an excellent asset management tool and facilitates sending large files to external recipients. Having all assets stored in one location and generating links from there is truly beneficial.

Cons

None! My files reach their destination, and they are safely stored. This is an excellent option for sending files outside of an organization.

“Reliable File Sender

Pros

Hightail offers a minimalist and intuitive option for sending larger files to anyone at any time that can't be attached to emails.

Cons

Unfortunately, there was a maximum file size, and my company decided to use another option for sending large files. Additionally, some files wouldn't send despite receiving confirmation.

“Use for sending files

Pros

As a freelance graphic designer, I am always on the lookout for an easier way to send and receive files. While I use the free version, Hightail provides simple and efficient solutions for clients who require longer file storage.

Cons

I dislike that I have to sign up for the free version. If it is free, there should be no signup required.

Hightail is quite a simple platform to use. Also it caters to the needs of all parties involved.

Cons

I wish there were more options available to meet my specific needs.

“A Photographers perspective

Pros

Hightail provides ease of use, simple functions and a professional interface. End users/clients can easily download files using simple links, and I can manage them without a problem. The large storage capacity and good value for money are additional benefits.

Cons

It's difficult to say, but very rarely, the connection drops out, and files aren't uploaded. However, it can easily be rectified by uploading again.

“It just works...

Pros

I have no trouble sharing files with individuals in other companies. Some of my colleagues networks restrict other file sharing options, but Hightail has always worked perfectly for me.

Cons

Sometimes, processing large files takes longer compared to other alternatives I have tried.
