LucidLink Launches Connect to Extend Instant Access to Data Stores

06/03/2026

LucidLink, the cloud-native file streaming platform for instant, secure access to large files, announce LucidLink Connect, a new solution that enables real-time access and streaming of data from existing data stores without migration. Following successful early deployments with customers and partners, LucidLink Connect is now generally available, delivering the first market-ready solution of its kind.

Activating data without disruption

Cloud data stores have become the default foundation for enterprise content, but the way teams access and use that data in day-to-day workflows has not kept up. LucidLink Connect closes that gap by making existing data instantly streamable, while preserving native formats, existing workflows and the architectures organizations already rely on.

With LucidLink Connect, teams can work with the data they already have, where it already lives, without migration, duplicate copies or re-architecting existing systems.

Native format integrity: files stay in place and in their original format, so teams can continue to use their existing tools and workflows.

Byte-range streaming: applications stream only the portions of a file they need, reducing bandwidth usage and lowering access costs.

Unified data view: teams bring together data across AWS and other data stores in one consistent workspace experience, without silo-hopping.

Security-first by design: built with enterprise requirements in mind, including predictable governance and controlled access.

Workflow automation: leverage LucidLink APIsto link data from existing data stores, automate setup and orchestrate repeatable workflows.

Flexible data structures: preserve existing structures or present selected data as intuitive, user-facing drives and directories.

LucidLink has always made cloud data behave like a local file system, says Peter Thompson, Founder and CEO of LucidLink. Connect extends that to the massive amount of data already sitting in object storage. Instead of migrating or reorganizing it, teams can simply point LucidLink at existing buckets and immediately start browsing and working with that data through the workflows they already use.

Real-world application across industry workflows

LucidLink Connect unlocks new workflows across industries by making existing data usable in the moment, without forcing teams to move it first.

Media & entertainment: browse footage, stream only the clips you need across desktop, mobile and web and open files directly in desktop applications.

Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC): bring project data in different data stores together, and design documents for instant access. Preview, inspect and work with high-resolution data on demand without downloading gigabytes.

Enterprise IT: automate workspace operations at scale and standardize how teams access and work with existing data.

MAM/DAM platforms: maintain a single source of truth while giving creatives faster access to the same data across workflows, without costly duplicate copies.

AI/ML teams: review and validate large, fast-changing datasets where they already live, without export-heavy workflows or manual delay.

As a managed cloud service provider, our customers rely on us to deliver and manage end to end cloud native media workflows, and LucidLink is a key partner within that ecosystem. We're excited to see the value LucidLink Connect will bring to our customers by enabling video to be streamed directly from any connected S3 storage. This introduces a powerful new way for teams to collaborate, while avoiding unnecessary workflow complexity. - Tanya Rai, Head of Partnerships and Marketing, Base Media Cloud

Programmable workflows with APIs

LucidLink Connect is built not only for end users, but also for developers, partners and enterprise teams that want to make access programmable.

With LucidLink Connect and its APIs, customers and partners can link data from existing data stores and make it instantly browsable and streamable inside existing workflows. This supports data onboarding at scale, permissioned access, project setup and integrations with MAM/DAM systems, automations and internal tools, without migration or disruption.

What's exciting about LucidLink Connect is that it removes long-standing gaps in enterprise workflows, without forcing teams to move data, duplicate it or re-architect their systems. Being able to work directly with cloud-native object storage while preserving existing integrations opens up far more practical ways to build modern workflows. - Tim Burton, Managing Director, 7fivefive

Enterprise-grade platform, proven at scale

LucidLink Connect is built on the same enterprise-grade file streaming platform LucidLink customers already rely on. Across desktop, web and mobile, teams get a consistent experience with unified permissions, compliance controls and 24/7 global support.

LucidLink has been streaming files from the cloud at petabyte scale for 10 years, says Thompson. LucidLink Connect brings that proven capability to existing data, making it instantly usable without forcing customers to change where it lives or how their systems work.

LucidLink currently manages more than 90 petabytes globally for 100,000+ users across 4,000+ businesses in 150+ countries. The platform has been recognized as a G2 Leader in Cloud File Storage and ranked #1 for customer satisfaction, with 93% of users indicating they would recommend LucidLink.

The company maintains SOC 2 Type II certification, GDPR compliance and MPAA TPN Blue Shield certification. LucidLink Connect is designed to preserve enterprise security and governance standards while extending access to existing data for globally distributed teams.

When LucidLink was first introduced, it was an instant game changer for an industry stuck in legacy, on-premises storage and workflows. Over the years, o
