The Hightail service is very well priced, and I have recommended it to my colleagues and professional contacts.

### "A Piece of Cake"

January 5, 2017

5.0

Hightail has made big file delivery a piece of cake. It's very easy to use and in the time it would take me to push out files via email, I can send them via Hightail in a fraction of the time.

Pros

Reliable. Ease of use.

### "Straight forward and easy"

October 1, 2012

4.0

I originally used YouSendIt for a project where we were working with some large publisher files. I thought it was a one off problem but I've come back to YouSendIt again and again. Recently I have started to use Dropbox more but because YouSendIt doesn't have the finite space restriction (talking about the free plans of both) and you don't have to tidy up after yourself it just keeps on working.

I have used hightail to send large, full quality video files, and it works without a hitch. Very fast and reliable. And easy to use.

Pros

Sending and receiving large HD video files is a breeze. Very fast and reliable. And easy to use.

Cons

I can't think of any drawbacks to using hightail for sending and receiving large video files.

### "Basic free plan!"

July 31, 2012

4.0

YouSendIt offers a free plan for users with only 2GB storage need and a maximum file size of 50MB. There are also paid plans. You can add, delete, and move files and folders, which are synced to YouSendIt. Sendnow is more expensive, and it is so much slower than YouSendit. For me there is no reason to change back.

### "Hightail is not my favorite"

April 13, 2017

2.0

Hightail is not my favorite. We have replaced hightail with Dropbox. There were limits on the size of files you could send . It was hit and miss if it was going to work. It was challenging for the end user to open and retrieve their documents.

While you have dropbox and other similar tools, pure email based file delivery is important when you are working with 3rd parties. Works well!

### "Hightail is awesome"

April 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

What we really love about the Hightail system is that it is really easy to use and you don't have to send your large files which can be difficult both on the sender end as well as the recipient's. You simply send the link through Hightail.

Cons

There really is not anything that we do not like about using the Hightail Open Text software. It is really that simple to use!
