Security Considerations
While hightail.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
File Hosting
hightail.com allows users to upload and share files. Any file you download was uploaded by another user—not the platform operator. Scan downloads with antivirus software and only download from sources you trust.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
