Excellent. Highly recommend. A+++++++++

Integration into file structure. Much easier than Dropbox.

No dislikes. Would not change anything.

Overall the experience has been great and we have pushed LL to it's limits, transfering and streaming terabytes of data. Yes the product is in it's early stages of development, but the feattures that are present do work reliably, which is all that I coudl ever ask for.

It works. It really works. The ridiculous thing is that LucidLink make a bold claim and they really deliver. I knew about LL for a few years, but have always been sceptical of it. It was almost shocking to find out when we tested it out that it worked exactly as advertised! What I like the most about it is that it allows to use creative tools designed for LAN collaboration over the internet. For example, Premier Productions. We are now able to have remote editors working from home with the same ease and convenience as if they where working in-house, and do it at pretty much at no extra cost (given the time and expenses saved on shipping of drives). Which is mind boggling! LucidLink has provided us with a ZERO COMPROMISE solution for remote collaboration which is something that may companies claim, yet non except LucidLink have managed to truly delivered on. LucidLink is: -More reliable than OneDrive/Google/Dropbox etc.. -Faster OneDrive/Google/Dropbox etc.. -Easier to deploy than OneDrive/Google/Dropbox etc.. -Real time streaming and remote collaboration really works as advertised, no caveats. Except the obvious dependency on strength of your internet connection.

Because the LL teams is small, some quality of life featture are still missing and will probably take a while to implement. Asking end users to dabble around in CLI to perform simple actions such as clearing cache or mounting multiple filespaces is not something that I wish I had to do as understandibly many users get intimidated by CLI. But I hope these functions will be added to the GUI in the future.

Love, love, love it. Our whole company moved over to it and now everything just works. Can't sing it praises high enough.

We call it dropbox on steriods. So fast and hardly any issues ever. seemless.

Occasional needs to recalculate itself. cost is creeping up to high figures now we're using more and more data.

I want to love and use Lucidlink but continue to run into the same issues whenever I try it out (again and again). I appreciate the concept and hope to see things continue to improve. Great product, but not compatible with our needs and use cases. Same goes for competitive products like Suite Storage.

I love the idea of having a single source of truth for a "cloud NAS" that is easily accessible to anyone with an internet connection. The user management and product setup are very clean and well done.

Marketing "without ever downloading" is completely misleading and false - data has to upload and download to be viewed and "streaming" is not practical in many workflows. When working with professional media files (RAW, R3D, ARRI, etc) that are very large (80 - 400 GB per file), it's very convenient to have the files in one place, but they will need to get downloaded at some point. The "streaming" functionality of lucidlink does not perform well working with high resolution/data rate files even in a 1 Gb - 10 Gb synchronous fiber internet connection, not to mention a typical consumer internet connection. It is what it is. Proxy workflows and strategic pinning of data is the solution but can require large local storage to accommodate working with single files over 250 GB each. Pricing is prohibitive vs. alternative workflows.

Practically seamless use - once set up largely it is "set and forget"

The speed of transfer of files for Final Cut Pro libraries with Pin feature

randomly slow internet speeds tht affect transfer rates

FANTASTIC overall experience. Their support is top notch on the rare occassions we have had to use support,

The remote editing workflow simply works. It's been the Holy Grail of editing for a decade to be able to truly edit from content in the cloud. There have been many failures by other companies and LucidLink finally cracked the code even with very low bandwidth for very remote users.

There isn't much not to like here. If there was one thing, and this isn't even on LucidLink themselves, it is finding a suitable cloud provider to host content. Lucid offers a few and you have to REALLY ask some tough questions to determine if the Tier 1 or Tier 2 storage is right for your needs.

Lucid has been a great thing for speeding up our client deliverables.

The ability to share and collaborate remotely, quicker than any other platform has ever allowed us to is the initial thing that drew us to LucidLInk. To be able t begin to edit a video clip in Premier even before the full file is uploaded by the capture team is a key differentiator in our business. Simplicity of setup was also a factor.

There have been many updates as the product matures and having to do an update each time you load the Lucid drive can be annoying.

Been loving it so far! Setup is a little confusing, probably because it's new to me. But once I got the hang of it, smooth sailings from there!

I was in the market for a NAS b/c I wanted a way to send footage easily and fast to my editor in the philippines. But I didn't want to spend more money on hardware. I found Lucid Link and watched a ton of their content to see if it was a good fit and then I believe there was a free trial. And then after the trial, it made sense to just pay for it. I love it for working with remote workers.

It's a little cumbersome to set it all up. The videos are extremely helpful but I also wish it was a less confusing. Specifically, the login stuff. I still don't really understand Root and all of that. lol Oh yeah and I would rather pay an annual fee for a discounted rate.

Only Cloud Solution for remote editing that allows quick turnarounds once the footage is uploaded.

Installation process on mac was difficult for some people.

It is a great service that is easy to setup and use.

Storage options are not the most flexible

It has helped taken us to another level of productivity. We were able to remove all of our dated storage devices and work directly off cloud storage which has sped up access to staff to work from anywhere. We have been thrilled with being able to take all of our siloed data and consolidate it all into one place allowing us to unify our storage and have everyone work off the same true set of data.

The ability to run this on multiple OS options and have it interface well with a number of server based software applications. We replaced our on premise storage in all offices and now have direct cloud based file shares accessible from anywhere. It can be installed as a windows service or a user app depending on your need and the multiple options for mount points allows to to replicate/replace any on perm storage you could be using. You can choose from a multiude of cloud storage providers to fit your need and budget allowing you to hit whatever your price point needs are. The software is simple to mange and setup, and SSO makes it even easier now for end users. The ability to set your upload download speeds also helps you manage traffic flow should that be an issue on your network. The file locking has been huge for us as well.

We havent run into any at this point, this product has been a game changer for staff working from home.

Our experience with LucidLink has been excellent. Their support staff has been incredibly responsive and proactive in helping us. We have seen steady refinements to the user experience and the core service has remained a solid solution for our file storage/sharing needs.

LucidLink allows our company to combine all the benefits of cloud-hosted storage with the ease of a mapped drive on our machines.We use the LucidLink client on Mac, Linux and Windows 10 to share media files between editors and other staff. The initial setup was straightforward and our users were able to install the client on their own machines without any assistance. There have been no problems with the LucidLink client and we've seen a steady stream of improvements to the user interface and ease-of-use in the admin tools. When we had an issue with a specific Linux distribution, the support staff went to great lengths to help me troubleshoot and address the issue. We use LucidLink to connect to our own Wasabi storage buckets and it has proven to be an affordable and reliable answer for our video and podcast production workflows.

In recent months there have been improvements to the granularity of admin controls. During our initial implementation, there were some limitations in how I was able to assign permissions, but the LucidLink team has been steadily improving in these areas and we are preparing to take advantage of the new options.

Our business last year and this year was to help schools across the nation produce their virtual graduation ceremonies. To do this we needed to collect assets and organize thousands of students pictures /videos and names. Using lucid link increased our organization process and allowed our 60 contracted workers to get the assets they needed to edit with ease. A life saver for our graduation clients.

The best part about this software is the ease of use. The fact that we can put everything in a folder and organize it to our specific needs ,and everyone on the team can access that and work of that is perfect for us. Using premiere pro with this software helped us edit our clients videos remotely and with speed.

Luidlink does everything we need it to. We will continue to use them over box and dropbox.

I have been looking for a solution for migrating local data to the cloud for a long time. Normal s3 object storage does not offer such security in the form of file encryption and such quick access to files. Lucidlink enabled me to migrate business files to the cloud.

LucidLink enables the use of s3 object storage as a cloud file storage. Simple to install. Very simple in administering users and access shares. I use LucidLink with my own s3 object storage as the central company file server. Thanks to this solution, authorized employees have access to the necessary files. I also use LucidLink as a backup target. The perfect solution,

For starters, it's difficult to understand how to make the most of LucidLink. It seems that you can use many different file spaces simultaneously, but in practice it has not worked. It's best to use one file space on one device.

The possibility to have a could storage optimized for video projects is exactly what I was looking for my team. Living and working in this time where the team can be dislocated around the world everybody has the possibility to work in a collaborative way on the same projects without the need to waiting hours to download files and always to remember to upload an updated version

To have a good experience with LucidLink is mandatory to have a strong Internet connection, even if the "chace system" help you to to work also with an ADSL

Lucid is one of the most useful products that I've ever used for media production and especially in this era of hybrid work. Lucid makes it possible for in-office and remote employees to collaborate seamlessly and eliminates the crutch of shuttling hard drives from place to place. Win-win-win.

Lucid is great for video editorial collaboration work, as editors, assistants, and producers can have one location to access all media production and project files whenever they need. Lucid works great when there is strong internet connection, which will make or break an editorial session. Lucid also makes for a great file transfer portal when needed and can also be used as a cloud archival option.

The major downside to Lucid is its heavy dependence on strong internet connection, so make sure to upgrade or test your connection on Lucid before their free trial ends. Other than that, Lucid is quite phenomenal.

Overall good, but the cons make us keep other software to get the full range done

Having people from all over the US being able to access their folder and upload footage or employees having full access to their projects or another department being able to have access to fulfill their job.

3 things that could make LL better: -it is very slow uploading large files with great internet -being able to give access by sharing a link -sending files from LL to someone

Ease of use. Once it's set up it's like my team around the world is working side-by-side.

We'd really like an online portal and a mobile app so we can access the folder structure and share links on the go. We'd also like to create request links people outside our network can submit content without viewing it.

From the moment I started conversation with LucidLink, I knew this was a company laser focused on the success of its clients. From sales, through purchase, and into deployment, the team at LucidLink was 110% available for guidance and suggestions that truly made a positive impact on our workflow in addition to cutting costs.

For many years, video editors heard lots of hype about being able to edit source footage that was cloud based. After lots of attempts, alas, that didn't come to fruition... until LucidLink. This is the REAL DEAL. It works, it's easy, and the support is top-notch.

There really isn't anything not to like.

LucidLink eliminates the need for our data handlers to deal with S3 or SFTP connections. With LucidLink all of the data appears on their workstation just like files on their native file system. We regularly find new ways to leverage LucidLink to simplify our workflows.

Our private data is not available on the local file system unless the computer is on and logged in to LucidLink. This important layer of security combined with the ease of use of a locally mounted volume makes LucidLink a killer application for accessible and secure shared files.

I wish LucidLink could be layered on top of existing S3 buckets full of files. Sadly, that's not possible.

Pinning footage is a game changer for handling large files and playback of footage.

Setting people up does sometimes take a little time.

The ability to play a video from LucidLink without downloading it first is very cool

LucidLink is an easy way to use S3 compatible public or private cloud storage

No real downside from my setup and usage.

I love working from home. It saves me driving in traffic, expensive parking and being out of my house for 12 hours a day. It also means I can work any time of the day, so I can be there for my kids in the morning and evening but still meet all my deadlines.

LucidLink is simple and seamless for working with remote video. As a freelancer I can just log in, pin any important files and start work right away, editing on my home rig as if I was in the city in the office. Lucid breaks down large complex video files into packets in the background, so I don't have to wait for entire clips to load before I can access them.

Sometimes my internet connection slows down and this of course slows down my connection to Lucid.

Unparalleled customer service; incredible response time to chat questions and professional replies.

Ease of use in a complex environment, easy to understand and plenty of support.

limited low price offer; I hope they can keep it at its current rate.
