Hi Sana,
With e-Transmit you can copy a Revit model and dependent files to a single folder for archive or for Internet transmission.
I don;t see any cons from using it as long as you are not using it to upgrade or cleanup the files it will be fast and easy.
You are saving a lot of time, You Don't Need to open each file and detach and save to archive the files, all you need it to do is basically select the Master File and make sure you Include "Linked Revit Models" as shown in the image below
eTransmit is one of the main add-ins now when you install Revit 2018 and part of our daily routine work.
eTransmit Work Flow
Ensure that all models are closed. On the eTransmit panel of the Add-Ins tab, click Transmit a Model.
Select the model(s), a target directory, and file types to transmit.
Optional: Select to open and save models in the active version of Revit (upgrade).
Optional: If upgrading, select to purge unused families and other Revit objects.
eTransmit for Autodesk Revit inspects the model, and repaths and saves all linked files and external files in the target directory. If the options were selected, the files are also upgraded and unused objects are purged before the files are saved to the target directory.
Optional: Open the transmitted model in the target directory to validate transmission.
Send the model by e-mail, FTP, or another method.
The recipient opens the transmitted model.
For a workshared model, the recipient selects an option in the Transmitted model dialog.
