Hightail Reviews - Page 6

1.) It's very simple and easy to use 2.) They give you a link you can share for the space you created. 3.) You can keep adding spaces to segment different files

I don't like how your account max out on the space and even if you delete files, it still won't let you add more.

It works as advertised. Good feature set.

Does not allow the uploading of a FOLDER, i.e. a batch of still photos.

Ease of use. Straight forward. Just type in an email address, write a note if you want, and drop in your file.

No complaints. I'm edging toward retirement so I'm mostly using it socially, and don't need it very often, so per use can get a bit expensive for me.

Great service to allow for sharing of large files, that allows you to easily upload into the program as well as track as it goes through.

When you share a link, you need to pay attention to when it expires, as sometimes it can expire relatively quickly. Additionally, those who receive the files can have difficulty downloading if not set up with the proper plugins on their computer.

Enables transfer of massive files between users. Makes remote work easier and once you set it up runs seamlessly.

I wonder if there are features that I am not using that can be put to good use (I'm primarily using file transfer)

This user-friendly software is reliable and secure and has never failed me - I've been using it for anearly decade and it has never failed me.

There's nothing I dislike about this software - it performs consistently well!

The interface for my clients is super easy to use. This is very important for us as some clients do not want to sign up for a ftp service to send files.

We are very happy with the service and interface. So there are no cons for us.

I have used Hightail over the years. Formerly known as yousendit. Hightail allows you to upload files and send them securely. The features are similar to any service that sends files for you. You can upload 100 MB at a time up to 2 GB for free. Plans start after that for a paid account. The GUI is nice and streamlined and a collaborative are is a nice touch for teamwork.

There are other options out there that seem to be more integrated, but for sending a file for free it is a nice option.

Easily I can send and track files being sent to my clients. I can adjust the time the file is available and get a notification. As to when the files have been downloaded. To me that’s critical.

I don’t use the project sharing but I should as it adds value.

I love that all of the content that I have uploaded throughout the years is still there should I or a client need to access it. The level of reliability is essential in our industry.

I don't feel it is as user friendly via mobile devises.

I love the Hightail Spaces, it makes sharing a group of files much more user friendly for clients.

I wish we could choose the thumbnail image for quicktimes. It's a shame it's just automatically chosen for us.

Not to much to it I get a bid invite from maybe two General Contractors and I click the documents to have them download.

Not much to it. No good back ground just simply enough to get what you need done. I only receive bid invites through this system.

Ease of a drag and drop to upload files. Remembering email address Retaining data so if I need to forward on a file to another person, I don't need to re-upload. We don't think about using Hightail in our day to day, we just default to it.

No cons. We need to send files quickly and easily, it does this very well.

We never used it so we can't speak of any pros.

Lack of communication, we didn't get any statements/ invoices....

What I like the most is the simplicity of the software and that I can use it from my phone.

Sometimes when I am trying to send videos from my iPhone, Hightail appears to be stuck. Sometimes I need to try 2-3 times.

Hi Robin, So sorry to hear of your frustrations. Our desktop sync app is designed to Sync everything that you have located in your Hightail cloud account including all files and folders. My guess from your description is that you had a lot of files and folders that needed to sync and that first sync can take some time. We will first create the folders within the app and then start to download...

It is extremely easy to use and fast to prepare a dispatch. It has been totally reliable. It allows me to track dispatches. My customers have never had a problem downloading.

I love the software. The only issue is internet speed. I send large images; without enough bandwith, images may be slow to upload. That isn't Hightail's fault.

I have been using the product since YouSendIt and it is great for our clients send us large file. The storage is great but we could not operated with our the ability to send large files.

I don't have any complaints it works and have never had an issue with receiving or sending files

I like the solid reliability of the Hightail service. I also like the option of requesting delivery receipt.

It is difficult to find weaknesses with this product as it works perfectly for my needs. This is a solid product.

I am so happy to have this software. I write articles for a technical magazine and need to send high resolution photos with my copy. Without Hightail this would take me forever, as I live in a rural area and the internet (while reliable) is a bit slow. So Thanks!, Hightail Further, I can send a link to my Hightail dropbox to my sources, so they can easily send the photos to me. Works so well :)

I can't think of anything I don't like. Hightail has always worked very well for me.

It's easy to use and I can get the job done very very fast.

There is nothing that I can say on this one. I like everything about it.

The ease of moving files in and out of the hightail cloud.

I would like more customization. Reoder how my files appear by dragging them.

I can send large files to people securely with little effort. 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.

luckily I'm able to get by with the free version because the price structure is a bit too high.
