Pros

“I keep all my templates and commonly used documents stored in Dropbox. When needed, I can simply open a saved file, edit it quickly, and print it without wasting time searching or recreating documents from scratch.”

“It has reduced the hassle of sending large files through email and improved coordination within the team. While pricing can feel a bit high for advanced plans, the convenience and reliability make it a useful tool for daily business operations.”

Akash E.

Operation Manager

“I often search and save exercise sheets whenever I find good resources, and I organize them in Dropbox. Since I don’t use paid exercise apps, I rely on printed exercise sheets for my patients.”

Pros

“I liked Hightail's design, service, and storage/transfer capabilities, in addition to my using it as a backup or alternate to other programs; Hightail is reliable in this capacity, and I generally felt confident in using it--whether sending out or receiving.”

Digital asset manager

“The overall Experience was Good and I was able to share the large size files to others and the collaboration features are also good and you can also track your files and know when they were opened or downloaded.”

“For our photos, brand standards, or even when we need to send files/images/videos to someone else on the team.”

Cons

“Storage fills up faster than you’d expect, especially once you start syncing bigger files or a bunch of projects at once, so I’ve had to be more careful about what actually needs to live in there versus what I can keep somewhere else.”
DS

Daniel S.

Manager

“Every once in a while sync will lag behind on a file that’s actively being edited by more than one person, which gets annoying when you’re trying to work off the latest version and it’s not quite caught up.”
DS

Manager

“Some features and additional storage require a paid plan, and it can sometimes be confusing to tell exactly what is included with each plan.”

Michelle C.

CEO

Cons

“Hightail did not work well with my Internet speeds, and felt slow and even cumbersome at times.”

“There also appears to be an issue where the email notifications to recipients often end up not being delivered based on my experience, which is a minor issue when dealing with low volume usage.”
