We can easily share massive files & directories with users either within or outside my company through Hightail. Apart from this, it has a useful feature that lets users build "spaces" to store all files and share links with anyone instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The notable downside of Hightail is its costly pricing plan which is not affordable for small businesses like ours. Also, as file volume increases, it becomes hard to manage and access them instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate how easy to use Hightail is. It allows you to send files confidentially directly to a recipient and the user interface mimicks an email format, allowing you to insert a subject and body text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that the free version has a data cap of 1 GB. I understand that a data cap and an enticement towards a paid subscription is necessary for the company to make money and contine providing their service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy the ease of Hightail's layout and how user-friendly the setup is! I can be out of the system for a long time and jump right back in and know what is going on with little issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do wish that the text I type was what the editor sees. I have heard that the spaces and enters are removed when viewed on the back end. I feel that this makes it more difficult to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hightail is idiot-proof which is ideal for a non-tech person like myself. Our admin sends me a link, I click it, the website lists all the files she has sent and with a single click I can choose to download everything. It couldn't be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since I have only been on the receiving end of Hightail, I cannot speak to the ease of uploading files. With that caveat, I have no criticisms of Hightail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that I can easily and efficiently send large video, photo, and design files to anyone that I need to. Usability is very easy, it's clear where you are supposed to go because the design is simple and it is not overly complicated to use. After sending files you also receive a quick link others can click on to download the files. I like to send this along just incase the Hightail email gets stuck for any reason. I also enjoy that you can set perimeters on how long files can be downloaded and you can choose an option to see when files have been downloaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If your internet connection is slow or if you're sending a lot of large files, it will likely take a good amount of time to send it through. Obviously, this is still much faster than other solutions. It is also pretty costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease and security options of using this service to share files online that are larger than email attachment limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Larger files will require a paid subscription and upload speed may not take advantage of faster connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the presence of unique file characteristics and thumbnails, it is very easy to sort and find files. Before the invention of this sending large files was very difficult task. So I would say this is the ideal product for sending large sized files. This is very beneficial tool as its features and functionalities are simple enough even child can easily operate it without major problems. It gives us most suitable and amazing solutions for sharing files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most of the cases this tool is proved to be highly beneficial for our company as it has all the capabilities for meeting the needs of our organization. The only least thing is that it is quite difficult to find previous downloaded documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how intuitive the features are. It has a great interface that is clear and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to other working professionals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would not change a thing about hightail, actually. It could get my large files and folders to my clients fast and in a complete way. I highly recommend it if someone wants to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I frequently need to send larger files that email cannot handle, and Hightail allows me to do that. It's also nice to have several options for making access to the files secure (passwords, expiration date, and other security measures). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the default home page/dashboard view could look a little more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
