It also felt limiting in the amount of data I could transfer, and seemed to be for quicker or smaller packages. There was also some confusion over email access via Hightail when dealing with certain clients who used it. > > Overall, Hightail was an OK experience, with solid small-time asset transfers and an easy user interface, but when it came down to crunch time, it felt tiny in comparison to more robust programs, or a "quick fix" in file management. ----- ### "Simple, Easy-to-Use File Transfer Program" — 5.0/5 > **Lauren** | *15 April 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hightail is so simple. Just drag and drop files of any size to send a link for the recipient to open the file. > > **Cons**: There might be a better way to convey it on the receiving end - the recipient gets and email that says "John has sent you a file". With all the spamming these days, you have to take the extra step to let them know it's for real. > > DOn't know why they changed the name from You Send It. ----- ### "I'm not too crazy about Hightail" — 4.0/5 > **Sheila** | *19 November 2019* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that you have a custom link through which your clients or anyone can upload large files to send to you. Likewise, you are able to send professional looking emails with links for your clients to download large files you send to them. > > **Cons**: I was never really able to get the files I stored in the cloud to sync in my local computer drive, so I lost quite a bit of files. I found Hightail more pricier than it needs to be. They used to be great when they were YouSendIt, but once they merged with Hightail, I feel the quality of the product diminished a bit. I didn't like that they do not provide a file preview. So I have to download several photo files to find the picture I'm looking for. > > Hightail has some really awesome customer service. Other than that, I feel there are other cloud storage and file sharing applications that are more superior. ----- ### "Good for online proofing, file sharing and creative project management" — 4.0/5 > **Pranjal** | *11 November 2021* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can easily share graphics to your client for feedback. The annotation tools are very easy for anyone to use. You can also collect files from anyone by just sharing a link with them which they can use to directly upload and send files to you. > > **Cons**: Not very customisable. Custom branding is limited. Users have to sign in to leave feedback. > > Have been using it for many years now and more or less satisfied. Customer support is responsive and revert promptly. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/147183/hightail?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/147183/hightail) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
