Overview

LucidLink is a privately held cloud-storage collaboration company that enables distributed teams to access, edit, and collaborate on very large files directly from cloud object storage. Its file-streaming architecture presents cloud data as a familiar local drive, avoiding full downloads, synchronization, and VPN-based file access.

Product & market

Pricing

Per-member monthly subscription with included shared storage and storage overage charges. Public pricing lists Starter at $7 per member per month with 100 GB included per member, Business at $27 per member per month when billed annually or $32 monthly with 400 GB included per member, and Enterprise pricing as customized. Enterprise customers can use bundled AWS storage or bring their own S3-compatible storage; AWS Marketplace purchasing is supported.

Differentiators

  • —Streams only the file blocks applications need instead of downloading complete files
  • —Mounts as a familiar local drive and works with applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud, AutoCAD, Figma, and Final Cut
  • —Supports very large files and datasets with a shared cloud-native filespace
  • —Zero-knowledge encryption designed so LucidLink does not hold customer encryption keys
  • —Supports customer-owned S3-compatible object storage and multi-cloud or hybrid deployments
  • —Provides file locking, snapshots, permissions, identity management, audit capabilities, and enterprise controls
  • —Offers egress-free bundled AWS storage plans
  • —Developer APIs, SDKs, Connect, and MCP integrations extend the product into automated and AI workflows
