About this App

Hightail FTP (File Transfer Protocol) technology is used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network. Since Hightail is a cloud-based platform, you won’t have to download or install any complex software. You can simply log in to your account and start working. The Hightail file size limit is between 100MB and 100GB, depending on your package.

 

The company’s early focus was on helping users send files that were too large for email; it started adding features and plug-ins for businesses in 2007. The service grew quickly, and the firm raised $49 million in funding between 2005 and 2010. The service can now be used via the web, a desktop client, mobile devices, or from within business applications with a Hightail plugin.

File sharing like:

Creative collaboration like:

  • Eliminate miscommunication: With too many emails around multiple creative assets and feedback not in-line with creative visuals, it’s easy for messages to get mixed. We put an end to that.
  • Prevent feedback paralysis: Waiting for feedback to go through the team one by one can really slow things down. Speed things up by having multiple reviewers comment in real-time.
  • Unlock serious productivity: When everyone and everything is on the same page, creative teams save time, money and morale.

Project Management:

FAQ

Which file types do you preview in Hightail?

In Hightail, we preview a wide range of file formats, including images, documents, animated GIFs, HTML, presentations, Photoshop, PDFs, video, audio and CAD files.


Does my client need a Hightail account to review creative assets?

The beauty of collaborating in Hightail is that you can share large files and collect feedback on those files without requesting that your clients or stakeholders have an account. Reviewers can simply click on the Space link you’ve shared with them, and the files will preview or stream automatically in their browser. Additionally, if you have the Guest Commenting feature turned on, reviewers can leave precise feedback on the file preview or stream without needing a Hightail account. To enable this, you will need to ensure that the Guest Commenting feature on your Business account is turned on in the Admin Console, and that your Space is set to share a link publicly.


Can I collaborate with others that have a different Hightail subscription than me?

Absolutely! If you are collaborating on a Space with others, the file storage permissions are based on the Space owner’s permissions. That means that if a Business account holder has created a Space to share with a Lite account holder, there is no file size storage limit on that Space, and Lite users can freely contribute to the collaboration. Files uploaded to the Space are limited only by the file size limit of each subscription type. So for example, if a Space is started by a Teams account holder and a Lite subscriber wants to add files to the Space, the Lite subscriber can only upload files that are 100MB or less in size. Likewise, Pro subscribers would be able to upload files that are 25GB or less to the Space. Lite and Pro subscribers, however, will not be able to request approvals or assign to-dos.
