LucidLink unveils a new era of real-time creative collaboration 

LucidLink has launched its next-generation product. This major release expands LucidLink’s real-time cloud collaboration across desktop, browser and mobile, freeing teams to instantly and securely access their data wherever they are working.

The new LucidLink is said to introduce a sleek, collaboration-first user experience designed to unify the customer journey across all creative touchpoints while offering flexible pricing and a scalable infrastructure. Users can choose from LucidLink’s bundled high-performance, egress-free storage options powered by AWS or bring their own cloud storage provider.

“The new LucidLink is both an evolution of everything we’ve built so far and a revolution in how teams collaborate globally,” said Peter Thompson, co-founder and CEO of LucidLink. “For the first time, teams can collaborate instantly on projects of any size from desktop, browser or mobile, all while ensuring their data is secure.”

While the initial release focuses on a seamless desktop and web experience, future updates will unlock real-time collaboration on mobile, giving teams even more freedom to connect and create. This update also marks LucidLink’s emergence as a platform, unlocking deeper integrations, business intelligence and advanced tiered pricing tailored to the needs of teams worldwide.

The first wave of LucidLink’s all-new features includes a reimagined experience for both desktop and web, built on an entirely new architecture. Future updates will introduce mobile apps, freeing creatives to access and collaborate on files wherever they’re working.

Teams can now collaborate in real-time across workflows that span home, on-prem and cloud without needing to download, sync or transfer data. This is an upgraded, sleek user experience across desktop and web applications that simplifies administration on both platforms, according to the company.

With a single account, users can join multiple filespaces across mobile, web and desktop, while a faster and smoother installation process for macOS users eliminates reboots or security changes, allowing creatives to get started faster. In addition, new teammates can be onboarded with a simple link for fast, friction-free setup.

According to LucidLink, this launch lays the foundation for a series of future updates coming in early 2025. These include full-featured mobile apps for iOS and Android that will give users immediate access to data on the go; the ability to share content with external collaborators without needing the desktop application; and the ability for users to drag and drop files directly from their browser for seamless collaboration.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and SAML-based SSO will also mean nhanced security options for all users, while guest links will allow teams to collaborate securely without requiring full user accounts.

An upcoming filespace upgrade tool will also give existing customers a smooth path to the new LucidLink. With instant access to files of any size across desktop, web browser and mobile, teams will have the freedom to create and collaborate securely whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.

“This milestone release marks a new chapter in our mission to make data instantly and securely accessible from anywhere and from any touchpoint,” added Thompson. “As we introduce more new features in the coming months, our focus remains on empowering teams to collaborate seamlessly, wherever they are.”
