Hightail

I downloaded the app after not being able to get the website to work and the app is just and frustrating. Sometimes it’s will play landscape, but not always, or often really. Rewind or fast forward, forget about it. You will just fight the video and rage quit. As soon as I finish the videos I need to watch I will delete this app and never use this platform again. Absolutely useless. -10/10 do NOT recommend. Update: tried reaching out to custom service and was met with an auto response telling me that if I wanted to receive help I would need to upgrade to a paid subscription. Your app is already difficult to use, I can not get help to see if there are tricks that make it work more smoothly, why would I ever consider paying to use an app that does not work!?

I’ve used many photo platforms working in marketing & communications. Our agency introduced me to Hightail to share & manage images for a website rebuild in 2021 with 8 team members & it was perfect. It’s the best platform I’ve ever used & we continue to use its unlimited storage. The ability to see, store & share photos is awesome! You have thumbnails, file size, ability to easily share links to individual images, groups or whole “spaces”/folders. It’s easy, flexible and far out surpasses DropBox, Google, SmugMug, Flickr, etc.

It allowed me to download maybe two files I was sent from my photoshoot, before making me create an account. And then I was forced to download the app to download anymore. I was allowed about three more before the option disappeared completely. Useless without a computer which I do not have handy.
