FAQs
LucidLink supports native Windows file locking and full Revit central model workflows to prevent version conflicts and overwrites. Everyone works from the same single source of truth in the cloud — without syncing delays or duplicate files.
Yes. LucidLink gives you granular control over who can view, edit or manage specific files and folders. Easily manage access for internal teams, external partners or field crews. Revoke access instantly when a project is complete.
Absolutely. LucidLink uses a client-side, zero-knowledge security model meaning only you can access your data. Files are encrypted in transit, at rest, and never visible to LucidLink or your storage provider.
Sync-and-share tools like Dropbox, SharePoint or Autodesk Construction Cloud copy entire files to each user’s device. That creates duplicates, version chaos and long waits — especially for huge point cloud, CAD, BIM or GIS files.
LucidLink takes a different approach. Instead of downloading files, we stream them on demand, straight from the cloud. Teams always work from one secure source of truth, with instant access to even the largest models.
Edge filers rely on hardware appliances to sync data locally. That means expensive setup, a single point of failure and slow collaboration — especially when working across offices.
LucidLink can work entirely in software. Every user connects directly to the cloud and files stream on demand, so Revit central models, AutoCAD drawings, MicroStation designs and point clouds open instantly, wherever your team is.
LucidLink supports all your AEC tools — including Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, Bluebeam, Rhino and more. If it works with a local drive, it works with LucidLink.
No hardware is required to get started. LucidLink runs entirely in software. For fast access at offices with sluggish network speeds, TeamCache can be deployed on a lightweight, on-site cache node.
Getting started is simple. Create your filespace, invite your team and start collaborating in minutes. No IT overhaul required.
No limits. We’re file and workflow agnostic. LucidLink routinely handles hundreds of GBs to multi-TB datasets.
