I love that I can store and organize files from all of Google's suite of services. I love that it backs up to my physical computer.

The personal data and all the files are safe now because google drive is the best platform. I am very happy to have it.

It has a Google Docs integration which is perfect when you share too many documents. I like that you can edit online and the 15g of free storage.

It's perfect for storing your files, I own a business and I'm also a Web Developer so keeping my files in a secure place where I can access them anytime and from anywhere is very important.

Overall this is an excellent product with great customer service.

Super easy to use and pretty easy to organize. Thumbnails give a big clear preview of the file which is  helpful as well.

I love the user friendliness of it and the accessibility it gives to our team. The Google Spreadsheets is a lifesaver.

Is that its easy to use with other google app. Its offer good customer service and it offer the most storage space unlike other app.

Also, sometimes when I uploaded files from my phone it took forever to upload and it stopped, giving me errors. This was a while ago, but it happened for almost 3 months and it was quite annoying.

It can sometimes be a little confusing to organize and the kids I work with have trouble loading documents to it from chrome-books.

Google changed the quotas for my available data storage which required me to archive my Google Drive content or I was in danger of my Gmail and other services losing functionality.

What I like the most is the ability to share documents easy and fast across computers/users. I'm able to collaborate with ease and at a fantastic price.

Trying to copy information or keep formatting from the Drive to other software is terribly inconsistent and a pain to fix.

Google Drive is an amazing product. It is very amazing to have all of your files in the cloud and the fact that you can access all of them just by logging onto your computer is awesome.

Easy to use and very cost effective. I've never actually paid for any of the files I've sent, which has been awesome.

Easy, fast, good customer support. Don't know why you are red highlighting this box and not letting me go to the next page.

Overall hightail satisfies our need for file sharing in such an easy and user friendly fashion.

It’s an extremely easy to use file transfer platform. For most people the free account will function for their purposes, and the rates for a higher level of storage are reasonable.

It is the biggest pain to get and find. They fact that i have to go hunt it down is insane in a world where it should just be emailed to me.

It is great to have all assets stored in one location and to be able to generate links from that location.

I like the solid reliability of the Hightail service. I also like the option of requesting delivery receipt.

Overall Hightail has been great for keeping the team on the same page, however it costs too much to use long term at this time.

Over all pretty good file sharing software. Use it for at least one client.

Professional, reliable, stylish, good useful functionality and an affordable price as a freelance Photographer.

Unless you pay for the upgrade, the files are deleted after a week or so, which has caused problems when the files aren't download right away.

Handling collaborations for heavier media files, especially when developing it along with free-lancers or remotely located teams, has been a troubling issue for companies.

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.

I've been using Hightail since day 1. I am very pleased with the quality and the ease of sending documents to customers that are too large to email.

I do a lot of paid recordings and the files are often quite large. I found this to be great in sharing files.

Lack of communication, we didn't get any statements/ invoices.

Overall experience with Hightail has been great. They are quick to assist with issues and overall have a great product.
