I like that with LucidLink, I'm able to work with a virtual team without having to physically provide any files or wait for files to upload and download. It specifically helps the end users because it really saves a lot of time with that feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've had some feedback from my team about lagging connection or delays when streaming data, which makes it hard to tell the quality without indicators. It's kind of delayed some projects since we ended up downloading the whole thing because streaming isn't always consistent. Additionally, the initial setup was a little bit more than a simple three-click process when trying to include my NAS for local storage, which was more technical than I expected.

It is incredible to be able to share footage anywhere with anyone, and most importantly to be able to have the cache feature which enables keeping .prproj files in the cloud, in order to ensure constant syncing and no regard for having to remind or worry about possibly uploading project files for sharing. It minimizes someone working off of the wrong project, saving not only time but relationships, trust and affordability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not show deleted footage immediately, causing billing issues when we need to close down a file space but can't because of the footage, and then forgetting about it we are billed again the next billing cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use LucidLink for multiple companies that I freelance for and do engineering for. It solves the problem of file path translation, which is huge for us, especially since we use Linux boxes. Supporting Linux is a big deal because many competitors don't, and that leaves out critical artists. The simplicity of installation on Linux, Windows, and MacOS is fantastic, and it's super easy to add members to the team and give them access to the media they need. LucidLink helps immensely, with its app being cleanly laid out and easy to teach new people how to use. Additionally, uptime and reliability have been excellent.

A few things I would work on moving forward. 1. A better UI for handling where and how media is cached locally. Adding additional cache locations to handle increased workload. Most artists get very confused about it, and we could make it handier. Caching works great, but maybe just have it a little easier to have the artist deal with it. 2. Expose everything possible to the command line so tools like Claude code can adjust and work with LucidLink. I use Claude code and LucidLink a lot, there are a few things I ask it to do that it can't. Push all your cards towards allowing them to work together. I guess if I had a complaint. Price would be it. With the current situation with AI eating all supplies, and the cost of the service ever growing, I think we are going to hit an inflection point where we have to weigh the value of going back into owning our own storage.

Lucid Link has allowed our documentary film company to store terabytes of raw footage in the cloud to enable our team to edit long-format, educational programs with multiple-episode seasons all remotely.

We are able to integrate into premiere pro seamlessly, the pricing is fair considering we could not operate with the team we have without it.

Our company believes strongly in developing raw talent. Many of our assistant editors are very young and either recently out of college and others have a high school degree or working on their GED.

Lucid Link is so simple to use that onboarding these individuals is a breeze.

Performance-wise, it has never failed us, and it has provided us with the operational backbone to be flexible with our workforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to think of anything we dislike about Lucid Link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love having the media for a project so quickly accessible without having to wait for downloads. Everything just works so seamlessly with the editing systems and tools we use. In our workflow, it also allows us to seamlessly work on site or remotely depending on our own needs and schedules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike - every now any then something is slow to download for no easily apparent reason, but that happens rarely. The only other possible downside is the price, but so far the price has met our needs well enough Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me expand my team across the United States and get more work done more efficiently without having to wait for file transfers. I don't have to upload footage and wait for the editors to download them, it's all ready to go in the cloud and they can just access the project files. I like how seamless it is and how it's natively integrated into Premiere, which makes it really efficient for our team. The snapshot feature is nice. Setup was pretty straightforward, the website's helpful, and the customer support is pretty responsive and always there to help. I got the Premiere plugin and everything seemed straightforward and easy enough to get started, with no friction points that I remember. I use it with After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator.

I used LucidLink for organization purposes, mainly keeping everything in an orderly manner, which was a priority for me. It was easy to set up specific drives for any categories of information I needed. It's essentially like a Google Drive, but a more exclusive Google Drive for your organization. If I needed to keep different files within one category as opposed to another, I could do that. With Google Drive you can sort of do the same thing, but things inevitably get disorganized. Having it all under one specific hub is where I believe there's a strength within LucidLink. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

{"I believe the pricing structure, that was kind of the big differentiating factor.","To be honest, I wasn't able to use it much when I had it.","We switched back to Google mainly because of the pricing differentiating factor.","With Google, pricing is basically free under Google or, like, at a lower cost."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about LucidLink is probably the performance. I also like that we can work anywhere with an internet connection. We use it to store all of our files, and we get better performance with it. The initial setup was really easy for our team, and the migration from Nasuni went well.

There’s nothing I can think of at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives our team the ability to have a well-organized and extensive archive that we can access remotely; this makes our work much easier and allows us to carefully store important material Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can't access two Lucid Link accounts at the same time. Sometimes we need to cross-reference information between the client and the company, but they have their own Lucid Link account and we have ours. Having to log out, log back in just to select what we need, and then log back into the main account wastes valuable project development time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and easy to manage. Everything feels straightforward and uncomplicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Are we having performance issues? It feels like a black box, and it’s hard to diagnose or figure out what’s going on on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
