How to File a Complaint with Hightail

Hightail complaints usually involve paid subscription cancellation, billing charges, OpenText account support, file sharing access, Spaces, project collaboration, storage limits, deleted content, account deletion, refunds, invoices, privacy requests, or support delays. The strongest complaint starts with the Hightail account email, plan, billing date, invoice, workspace or Space name, file link, and whether the issue is billing, file access, collaboration, or account deletion.

Hightail's support article says paid subscriptions can be canceled after logging in at spaces.hightail.com/login, clicking the account avatar, going to account billing details, selecting Manage, then choosing Cancel Plan and following the prompts. Hightail's terms page says users can access, delete, or amend content using Hightail service functionality, and that complete account deletion requires emailing support@opentext.com.

Hightail is now branded as Hightail by OpenText, so some support, privacy, and account-deletion routes may involve OpenText support infrastructure.

This guide is for organizing a customer complaint. It is not legal advice, payment advice, tax advice, privacy advice, file recovery advice, collaboration advice, creative workflow advice, or a decision about whether Hightail, OpenText, a team owner, a payment issuer, a privacy authority, or another party must issue a refund, credit, cancellation, file restore, account deletion, privacy response, or policy exception.
