Storage collaboration platform, LucidLink, has announced the launch of its next-generation product.
The “major” release expands LucidLink’s real-time cloud collaboration across desktop, browser and mobile with a “sleek, collaboration-first user experience designed to unify the customer journey across all creative touchpoints.”
“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.”
The initial release focuses on the desktop and web experience, with future updates aimed at mobile in 2025.
New features with this release include a “reimagined” experience for both desktop and web, built on an entirely new architecture. Future updates will introduce mobile apps for the platform. Teams will be able to 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.”
With a single account, users can join multiple filespaces across mobile, web and desktop. There’s also now a streamlined macOS installation that eliminates reboots or security changes. Onboarding has been simplified with new team members now able to be onboarded with a simple link “for fast, friction-free setup.” Users can choose from LucidLink’s bundled storage options powered by AWS or bring their own cloud storage provider.
The launch lays the foundation for a series of future updates coming in early 2025 including full-featured mobile apps for Android and iOS; external link sharing that allows users to share content with external collaborators without needing the desktop application; browser-based upload will be possible meaning users can drag and drop files directly from their browser. There will also be enhanced security options and guest links allowing teams to collaborate securely without requiring full user accounts.
“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.”
