The file was large (700 MB) but not huge. Last Friday afternoon, one of our team members sent me a file I needed for a client. Last week, the company slipped to download speeds that rival the best of the Internet at least if it was 1992. I have seen delivery speed crawl to ridiculously slow rates. Recently, the service has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. I could set them to auto expire as well as get return receipts once a file was downloaded. Sure, Dropbox works well, but Hightail and YouSendIt were easier to manage and I didn’t need to go in and clean out files. I have also highly recommended it for years as an easy way to share files and send things to clients. I have been a customer of YouSendIt (now Hightail) for at least five years. Many of us need to send large images or video files between clients and team members as part of our jobs. In this case though, I am making an exception based on recent experiences with a company. There are so many great products out there to help photographers. At Photofocus, our general policy is to only review products we like.
