New in LucidLink: Developer Platform, Connect integrations and more

Last updated 11 May, 2026

The LucidLink Developer Platform interface emerging from a purple envelope, showcasing options for the SDK Beta and LucidLink API.

Our April release picks up right where NAB 2026 left off.

With LucidLink Connect recognized as Product of the Year, this release focuses on turning what we showed on the floor into tools you can use in production.

The highlight is the launch of our Developer Platform, alongside new Connect integrations and added security controls for global teams.

The LucidLink Developer Platform (GA)

The LucidLink Developer Platform is now generally available.

It’s a single place for everything you need to build on LucidLink (documentation, tutorials and onboarding resources) making it easier to integrate, automate and scale workflows programmatically.

SDK (Beta)

The standout of our developer launch is the SDK.

It lets teams directly interact with LucidLink using Python, without a desktop client or mounted filespace. With the LucidLink daemon embedded, it runs anywhere Python runs, from local scripts to cloud environments.

  • Clientless operations: read, write, list, delete, move and copy files without mounting a filespace

  • Built for automation: secure, headless authentication using service account tokens

  • LucidLink Connect support: interact programmatically with S3-compatible storage

If you're ready to start building, you can access the SDK and documentation with a 30-day trial.

LucidLink Connect integrations

We’ve expanded LucidLink Connect with a growing set of integrations.

You can now link and stream assets directly from platforms like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox and Frame.io, without moving or duplicating data.

  • No migrations: assets stay where they are

  • Unified access: everything appears in a single LucidLink filespace

  • Streamed workflows: work across fragmented storage as if it’s one system

It’s a simpler way to bring distributed storage together without adding overhead.

Security: two-factor authentication (2FA)

We’ve added two-factor authentication for all password-based (non-SSO) accounts.

Admins can configure 2FA at the workspace level with three options:

  • Optional: users enroll when ready

  • At next login: prompted on their next session

  • Enforced immediately: access blocked until configured

Available across desktop, web and mobile, 2FA adds another layer of protection while maintaining LucidLink’s zero-knowledge architecture.

Mobile updates

Two useful improvements for teams working in the field or on the go:

  • In-app previews (Android): view images, audio, video and PDFs without downloading

  • MDM support (iOS): deploy domain keys automatically via mobile device management

Both platforms also received stability and performance improvements this month.

That’s a wrap on April. Log in today to explore what’s new.
