Direct links in LucidLink: share exactly what you mean

When you're collaborating across time zones — or even just across departments — clarity is everything. 

That’s why LucidLink makes it simple to share direct links to exactly what your team needs.

That’s why LucidLink lets you share direct links to any file, folder or location in your filespace. One click, and your team lands exactly where they need to be. No folder digging, no miscommunication.

What are direct links?

With LucidLink, you can create a direct link to:

• The root of a filespace

• A specific folder or subfolder

• An individual file

Think of it like dropping a pin on a map. No vague instructions, no unnecessary back-and-forth.

Just right-click > copy link in the LucidLink app, and you’ve got a link ready to share in Slack, email, Jira, Notion — you name it.

What makes it secure?

Direct links only work for people who already have access to the filespace and have the LucidLink app installed. When a recipient clicks the link:

1. It opens in their browser

2. The LucidLink client launches

3. They’re prompted to log in (if not already authenticated)

4. They’re taken directly to the correct file or folder inside the app

It’s simple, fast and secure. Ideal for teams managing large files and fast-moving workflows.

Real-world use cases

• Post-production supervisors can link directly to an updated asset, avoiding confusion over versions.

• Design leads can guide collaborators to the correct folder structure to save even more time.

• Marketing teams working with agencies can point freelancers to exactly the right deliverable, without granting them full visibility into the entire Filespace.

Why it matters

Projects move faster when there’s no ambiguity. Direct links help your team:

• Stay aligned without lengthy explanations

• Reduce errors due to inconsistent naming conventions

• Save time across distributed teams and global collaborators

Whether you're onboarding a new teammate, sharing revisions or collaborating with external partners, direct links make it effortless to get everyone to the right place.

Pro tip: use folder-level permissions alongside direct links to control access without limiting clarity. It’s great for client work, vendor sharing or internal teams with different scopes.

It’s easy to try. Copy a direct link to a file and send it to a teammate. You’ll see how much faster and easier collaboration can be.
