Hightail Adobe Plugin

LINK PHOTOSHOP OR ILLUSTRATOR TO HIGHTAIL

Linking your file to a Hightail Space accomplishes two things:

1. Linking connects the file/s to the Hightail Space so that any actions taken in the plugin are updated in the Hightail Space as well.
2. Linking to a Space pulls down any comments made in the Hightail Space into the plugin, which allows the users to collaborate on Hightail without leaving Photoshop or Illustrator.

As a Business/Team user, log in to the Hightail plugin with the proper credentials. If you encounter unsuccessful login, we strongly advise to log in once using the website interface at www.hightail.com to validate your account and it should allow you to log in to the plugin again.
