I used Hightail to send video files and various digital assets back and forth for clients and between a creative team.
Fast. Easy to Use. Dependable. Works well for multiple files or one. Option to archive files.
Nothing. It is a great tool and one of the best ways to share files.

Easily share large files quickly and efficiently.
This is great for transferring large files. It’s a secure way to deliver files and easy for anyone to use.
There was nothing that I needed that wasn’t delivered by Hightail. Some clients were not familiar with it.

Easily able to transfer large volume docs to opposing party and clients. I have only once had someone tell me they could not get documents because they needed a code. Not sure why, I did not put a code on it. But other than that everything has been very smooth.
Product is user-friendly. I have had trouble with other software that would lead to frustration. Not once with Hightail.
No cons, I don't have any complaints whatsoever.

Hightail has allowed us to receive large files from clients.
Hightail is a great means of sharing large files with clients. The hasslefree experience really streamlines the proofing process.
I have no complaints about Hightail. It's a great tool for sharing files that are too big to be sent via email.

It delivers my files. Performs as expected.
No app for my Mac as I originally started with. After the acquisition there was a lapse of service. Mail to customer service went unanswered. Screens are not intuitive and I find it awkward to get done what I originally signed up for - send large files quickly and easily.

We use Hightail to send extremely large files to our printers - files we used to have to send on disc or thumbdrive. This is so much easier and faster.
Very easy to use, and transports large files effortlessly.
There is nothing to dislike, everytime we use Hightail, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

I love the easy of which im able to upload my files and share them.
I wish that in the spaces and file sends (especially the spaces) it told me how big the files were both individually and combined.

It’s pretty easy to use, have good user interface. It allows to share massive files.
Nothing much really. They have a data cap which bothers me sometimes, but I can very well understand that's necessary.

I'm able to send large size files without issue. I can do it from the web, mobile app, or Outlook without issue.
It's easy to use. In our fast paced environment, we need tools like this that require little effort to use. I love how there is a mobile app as well as plugins to Outlook.

I often ship large files and have found Hightail the most convenient and easiest to use software.
Dependability and ease of use. I have never run into a compatibility issue with clients.
No cons that I can think of. Keep it inexpensive, please!

My company primarily uses Hightail for its base function - to send large files that cannot be attached via e-mail. For this purpose, it works great. I've never had a client complain about not being able to access or understand how to use the download link. The security settings allow for protection to ensure your link expires after a certain date as well.
The 'Spaces' feature hasn't taken off at my company so far, as we still opt to use the traditional share link. The ability to collaborate and share via that route doesn't seem as intuitive as the traditional way of sharing large files.

We send large data files (e.g. QuickBooks backup) to and from clients and to and from my bookkeeper in Pennsylvania (I'm in New York). This is the best method I have ever used to do so.
Sending larger data files is absolutely seamless.
There's not really anything to dislike. It's perfect.

Hightail is my go-to when it comes to quick and easy file sharing. Often, I have to send projects that are large in file size and won't send over an email and rarely can I send them over another FTP site. With a few clicks of a button, I'm able to send my files over to fellow employees or clients and they receive them with very little delay.

Very good experience. My first time using this was when a collaborator needed to send me files that were too large, and I found that process very simple, so I started using it from time to time when I need to send a one-off file to someone that is too large to email.
I love that it is extremely easy for everyone involved to use. Whether you are sending or receiving files, it's a very simple process which is so important when I use this service with clients.
I think it's a bit expensive to use for larger files. 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.

I use Hightail to send large photo files to my customers.
It makes it very easy to send large files to a group or individual people.
The overall interface is a little hard to navigate but once you get used to it, its fine.

Overall the program works like it is supposed to. It took some time for me to get the hang of it, but I feel pretty confident while I'm working on it.
I like that the program does not have a size limit. I can set up a project and put documents in the folder without worrying about it bouncing back due to its size. I can also invite people to the projects and send them a link.
The least favorite feature is that the program does not allow for folders to be downloaded. Also, sometimes the documents take a little longer to upload and it causes the program to crash. This has happened to me on a few occasions.

What I like is that it is always working. I can store past files. It easy for my customers to use to. They don't need to have Hightail to receive documents.
No lots of people use it and so they seem nervous when I bring it up.

I have been able to securely send and receive documents and manage work spaces for projects that I wanted to keep in one place. Overall, the service has been very helpful and provided a great value for the cost.
It is easy to use. I have a pretty basic business and it is just what I need for my day-to-day for sending, receiving and managing documents.
There is nothing that I dislike thus far.

It's amazing how fast you can share some big files.
Using Hightail for my business is a wonderful tool, allows me to share real big files and give me the opportunity to learn if the customer has downloaded it.
Have no comment in this issue, have no least points ton cover on.

Super simple to use. I love the drag and drop feature as well as the password protection and expiration date options.
I wish there was a history of the files that I have sent with links included. I also issues with the expiration date feature.
