At my organization Hightail predates me, but the software is second to none.
Chose OpenText Hightail
We looked at Dropbox because it's very well known in the industry and widely used. We didn't use it for a couple of reasons. First, our server security presented too many challenges and our IT director nixed the idea. Secondly, a lot of people used DropBox for personal use and …
Chose OpenText Hightail
Honestly, once we started using Google Drive more efficiently and saw what improvements OpenText Hightail had made, it was hard to choose. But now that we more consistently use Google Drive, I use it probably 75% more than I use OpenText Hightail for the same tasks. I'm not …
I've used WeTransfer on the receiving end, and only once to send large files (because the client specifically asked that I send his files with WeTransfer). I can't really comment on how it stacks up against Hightail. On the receiving end, it works. I get an email from them with …

I have used WeTransfer in the past. I think they are very similar however hightail seems to gave faster upload and download times. We transfer had a brighter more fun and user friendly interface making, hightail is a little dark, however it does exactly what we need it to and …

Hightail has the specific features we were looking for and makes it super easy to send large files over email. Its cost and ease of use makes it our preferred solution for sending large files. It doesn't have all the features of DropBox, but is also lighter weight and tasks can …

Cons

  • Some of our recipients are not very tech-savvy and can get confused with how to download a file. There is some room for improvement by making it clearer where the user should click to download the file.

I've used WeTransfer on the receiving end, and only once to send large files (because the client specifically asked that I send his files with WeTransfer). I can't really comment on how it stacks up against Hightail. On the receiving end, it works. I get an email from them with a download button that takes me to a page (with excellent image content) and I start the download from there. Simple and it works. Using their free option to send files was easy. It was browser-based, which is fine. Whether or not there are desktop and mobile apps I have no idea, although I would imagine there are. I use Hightail because it was the best option when I started using it and it continues to work well for me.

  • Hightail simply saves time. We no longer struggle with trying to meet the requirements of OutLook. When we have a file that is too large to send via OutLook we just "hightail it".
