Your files, faster.
Access any file instantly, anywhere. Collaborate in real-time from one always-up-to-date, secure cloud filespace.
We're delighted to share that LucidLink has been recognized as a Leader in G2's Winter 2026 Cloud File Storage Grid® report, and ranked #1 for customer satisfaction.
This recognition comes from the teams who use LucidLink every day: video editors collaborating across continents, marketing and advertising teams running global campaigns and engineering firms working on massive CAD files in real time.
We recently celebrated winning an Emmy and NAB Product of the Year for the fourth year running. But hearing this kind of feedback from our customers might just top it all.
Their reviews validate what we've built: a file streaming platform that gives teams instant access to large files and lets them work together seamlessly, from anywhere.
What the G2 Grid® report measures
G2 is the world's largest tech marketplace and peer-to-peer review platform. The quarterly Grid® Report helps buyers understand the competitive landscape based on two key factors:
Satisfaction scores: how users rate their experience with ease of use, implementation, support and overall value
Market presence: a product's visibility, reach and scale in the market
Products in the Leader quadrant (👋) are rated highly by users and have substantial market presence. This placement is earned entirely through customer reviews, not vendor claims.
Why teams choose LucidLink

In the Winter 2026 report, LucidLink stood out for customers in three areas — satisfaction, trust and momentum:
#1 for customer satisfaction: out of all products in the Cloud File Storage category, LucidLink ranks highest for overall user satisfaction.
93% likelihood to recommend: the overwhelming majority would recommend LucidLink to their peers.
95% say we're going in the right direction: teams see how our continuous innovation aligns with their evolving workflows.
But behind these numbers are real teams solving real problems. Here's a few examples of what they're saying.
What our customers say
Game changer for creative teams
My team can reliably and quickly access our files from anywhere we have an internet connection. Even when working on tradeshow booth layouts and video editing, the team has been able to keep projects moving both in and out of the office. And, in instances where we have encountered issues, the support team at Lucid has been great. Super responsive and diligent — always getting us up and sprinting in no time.
Jessica H.,Art Director
Seamless cloud storage for creative workflows
LucidLink completely changes how our team handles large media files. The expandable cloud storage feels limitless, so we no longer need to shuffle external drives or worry about server capacity. Files are available instantly, and syncing is lightning fast, even with massive video or design projects. It is especially impressive that multiple editors can work off the same shared link as if it were a local drive. For distributed creative teams, this kind of flexibility and performance is a game-changer.
Aaron G.,Director, Technology & Innovation
Setting up a shared filespace was insanely fast
When I tested it, setting up a shared filespace was insanely fast. I just installed the client, connected the space, and the designers were already browsing folders from the Finder on macOS like it was a local drive. It honestly felt like we were all back in the office again. What’s great is that an external collaborator can jump into the same folders without anyone needing to copy stuff manually. I also like that they’ve added better security, admin tools, and infrastructure updates for businesses, like custom snapshot scheduling, instant renaming for filespaces, and tighter admin control for big teams.

The features customers love
When we look at customer reviews, a few themes come up again and again. These are the reasons teams keep choosing LucidLink.
Faster access to files of any size
LucidLink streams only the portions of files you need, when you need them. That means no more waiting around for downloads or transfers.
Teams can open 4K video timelines, complex CAD assemblies or layered design files and start working immediately.
Suddenly your team has more time — whether that’s for work, or a better work/life balance.
Take a closer look at how we give teams fast access to large files.
Secure remote collaboration
Everyone works from the same files at the same time, without sync delays, VPN bottlenecks or version conflicts.
With zero-knowledge security, encryption in transit and at rest and granular permissions, teams can collaborate confidently from anywhere.
As Benjamin N., Broadcast technician & Post Production technical supervisor puts it:
“The platform is incredibly reliable, with fast performance even when working with large media files. The user interface is intuitive and easy to set up, and the security features give us peace of mind when sharing sensitive data.”
Built for scale
Whether you're a small creative studio or a global enterprise, LucidLink scales with your team. So you can add users without adding infrastructure, or expand to new offices without deploying hardware.
That flexibility is why we were recognized as a Momentum Leader, reflecting our platform’s rapid adoption and growing market presence.

No workflow changes necessary
LucidLink mounts as a local drive, so your existing tools — Premiere Pro, Avid, Photoshop, AutoCAD, Revit or any application that works with files — just work.
There’s no relinking media, retraining teams or disruption to workflows. That’s why 90% of users rate LucidLink as easy to use.
Fast implementation

LucidLink earned G2's Fast Implementation badge for Enterprise, with 89% of users saying it's easy to implement. There are no appliances or complex configurations. Just download our application and get to work.
Highly rated by teams of all sizes

Beyond our overall Leader status, we earned specific recognition across different team sizes:
Leader (Small Business): ideal for growing creative and technical teams
Leader (Mid-Market): scales efficiently as organizations expand
High Performer (Enterprise): delivers performance at scale for large, distributed teams
We also received Best Relationship badges for both Small Business and Mid-Market segments, reflecting the 24/7 support and partnership our customers experience.
Beyond storage: recognized for content collaboration
Beyond file storage, we were also recognized as a High Performer in G2's Cloud Content Collaboration category.
This recognition reflects an important truth: fast file access alone isn't enough. Teams need to be able to work together in real time beyond the initial file transfer. LucidLink provides a single cloud workspace where access and collaboration seamlessly combine.
Whether you're co-editing video footage across time zones, working simultaneously on engineering drawings or collaborating on massive datasets, LucidLink keeps everyone aligned without the friction of traditional file storage tools.
What’s next?
The 95% score for "going in the right direction" reflects our commitment to keep on evolving alongside the way teams work.
