“I don't need to send large often so I use the free version and it fulfills all my needs regarding document management at this time.”

“Hightail has a very user friendly uplink portal. And it is very reasonably priced software for a small business.”
RE

Owner

“I would like to see a less expensive plan than PRO at $12 that will give you a bit more options than the FREE version. As it is, with FREE I cannot set an expiration date or password, but do not use the service enough to warrant paying the PRO monthly price.”
