What's great about LucidLink is that, unlike other file management systems like Dropbox or Facilis, the caching process is extremely simple and fast. The UI is well-built and everything works smoothly, guaranteeing fast performance in my video editing workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't name many downsides, the only one I have in mind is that sometimes the cache fills up local storage, and when you go to drop it, it doesn't act immediately. My workaround for this is I set a new pin limit at 1 GB and then it flushes out the cache immediately. But I wish clicking "drop cache" immediately got rid of all the files and freed up space locally, without having to use this workaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was fairly seamless to switch from Dropbox to LucidLink and the recent update means that it works well on a Mac as well as the PCs now. This was a problem for us Mac users when we tested it the year before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Finding files takes too long! Dropbox was much much faster, The problem is something to do with the way Lucidlink saves data. So we have had to buy a small bit of extra software called Find Any File to help us find our files. That works well but then we have to look at the file path and go back to our LucidLink folder to get the file.

The biggest failure of LucidLink is that we can't save and search from within the Adobe Creative Suite packages. So usually in InDesign or Illustrator we could choose File > Save as > then search within the finder structure (on a Mac) to look for the folder name. We can't do this at all in LucidLink. That's a major failure for our efficient workflow and if we had a choice I would ask for us to go back to Dropbox. So in face I would give LucidLink a 5, not a 7.

LucidLink streamlines the communication between our team members. We can review each other's work, learn from one another, and pick up the slack if anyone gets into a pickle. The server integration with the Mac's finder program is super intuitive and works seamlessly with our programs. The pinning feature makes internet speed practically a non-issue when traveling, and the performance is super reliable. Even when Lucid was down I reached out to a representative and was helped immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most difficult part about LucidLink is needing reliable internet when your assets aren't pinned. But with a good ssd and regular pinning habits you can largely avoid this issue. Although the price is expensive, I do feel that being charged by the amount of storage used is a fair practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The intelligent caching system. It's much more convenient and intutive than other file storage providers. It integrates incredibly well even with MacOS, which is a notoriously unfriendly environment to anything non MacOS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have a lot of downsides, I could use further integration with MacOS and better support for pacakges. Performance is good, pricing is adequate, though I would like to be able to create teams using already existing subscribers, without having to pay an extra seat as the accoutn owneer. I think that, within reasonable limitations, those who already own a paid account should be allowed to join at least one other drive without an additional cost for anyone. It would allow more straight-forward relationships between freelancers. I am starting to play now with AI integration and I hope that full onbarding will be available on all the main platforms.

I like that LucidLink is intuitive and easy to use, and that uploading files is simple. Its workspace is quite easy to manage. One way it saves me a lot of time is its media cache capability, as I can set a fairly high cache capacity and thus avoid delays due to poor file loading. I use it for team work and to securely share files for video editing. When an editor finishes their part, they upload it to LucidLink and then another editor can access it from another part of the world without any problem. I use it with Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. We used to use Google Drive, where uploading and downloading files, which are usually quite large, was too slow and delayed the workflow, and we needed to streamline that aspect. I would recommend it because it is an easy-to-adapt system that works for many people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, for some reason, LucidLink becomes slow; it doesn't matter if my connection is good and I have no internet issues, it tells me I have a terrible connection and I can't see what I'm editing because it freezes on me. It seems more like a system crash than a personal problem. It happens more in the mornings or late in the afternoon. When many of us are connected, it fails for all of us. The initial setup was a bit difficult. It was more about starting to work in a different way and adapting. I think it has improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is probably the mobile app. Being able to access our server and files at any given point is huge. When I get a phone call from a client who needs me to reference a specific document, it can be really hard to figure that out if you don't have everything saved and readily available on your phone. The app makes it easier for us to get back to clients and provide accurate information much quicker than if we were relying on local storage we had to go back to, or if we had to go back to the office and pull it up on the cloud via Google Drive. It's just a very consistent, easy process using LucidLink and the mobile app. It helps us maintain efficiency when we're working collaboratively and passing things back and forth. We've gone through probably four or five different hosting sites and ways to save our data both locally and in the cloud for remote access, and LucidLink really simplifies a lot of that. It lets us all feel confident that we'll have the up to date files across the team, with no delays waiting on files. It's built into our workflow now and synchronized on every team member's computer. The mobile support was the main reason we switched from LucidLink Classic, and it accomplishes all our goals in one. The initial setup was incredibly simple. I haven't had any complaints, and it's gone really well compared to some of our other programs in the past. If it's a good fit for someone, I'd say it's a 10 out of 10.

{"As of right now, I mean, I don't really have any complaints or anything negative. It seems like it's gone really well. I mean, we haven't really had any issues using LucidLink right now compared to some of our other programs in the past.","LucidLink Classic didn't have the mobile support. That was the main reason for switching to LucidLink now from the Classic.","With Google Drive, we were having some issues just with files not being up to date or taking a little long."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What truly sets this product apart is its unwavering performance. It seamlessly integrates with MacOS, making it an ideal tool for my video editing work. It facilitates efficient file sharing and fosters a collaborative environment for different projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can’t think of anything I genuinely dislike about the tool. If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be having more AI integrations for things like file searching, for example. Still, it’s not something I’m particularly anxious to get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

lucidLink makes it much easier to keep work files in one shared place without making file management feel complicated. I like that I can open the files I need without manually downloading everything first, and the folder structure stays organized even when projects grow. After using it regularly, it has become easier to find and manage files across different devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The experience depends on having a stable internet connection. On slower networks, opening larger files can take a little longer. It also took me some time to understand a few storage and cache settings during the initial setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started using it recently. It helps keep files, folders, and work resources easier to access from one shared place without making file handling feel complicated. I work as a Dietician & Nutritionist, manage a homeopathy clinic, and also create health education content for social media, so I regularly work with educational resources, content files, posters, PDFs, health awareness materials, and related documents. The setup process felt straightforward, and I was able to start using it without much technical difficulty. I use LucidLink quite frequently for storing, accessing, and organizing content-related files and educational resources. Filespaces make it easier to keep different types of folders organized, and I like that important files remain available without having to manage multiple copies. It is useful when working with larger content files because I can access what I need without waiting for everything to download first. Performance has also been good during my regular use, and accessing files generally feels smooth even when working with larger folders. Sharing resources and keeping related files together also helps make daily work more efficient. Sharing resources and keeping related files together also helps make daily work more efficient.

Another thing I like is that files remain easier to access across different devices, which is helpful when working on content, educational materials, and clinic-related resources from different locations. Performance has been reliable during my regular use, and file access generally feels smooth. The platform has enough important features for storage, file organization, collaboration, file sharing, and resource management without feeling overly complicated. Integration felt straightforward, and I have not needed customer support often. Overall, LucidLink helps me keep content files, educational resources, documents, and work materials more accessible and better organized during daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When working with larger folders and content files, access speed can sometimes depend on internet quality. If the connection becomes unstable, opening or loading some resources may take a little longer than usual. I also noticed that understanding cache settings and some filespace-related options took me a little time in the beginning because there are several background settings available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how accessible it is for everyone who uses it. It’s made our pipeline much smoother by making it easier to share files across the many jobs we work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes my connection to a filespace gets really slow, and I end up having to sign out and then sign back in. After I do that, the connection becomes excellent again. I’m not sure whether this is due to my internet or Lucid, but it’s something I’ve been experiencing periodically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
