This article highlights the key features of the LucidLink iOS app, available for Community Preview.

Workspaces and filespaces

All workspaces and filespaces accessible to a user are displayed in the initial workspace and filespace section of the app. However, please note the following exceptions:

• Workspaces with pending invitations will not appear until the invite is accepted.
• Some workspaces may be restricted from mobile access, meaning they will be visible in the desktop app but not in the mobile app.
• LucidLink Classic filespaces are not supported in the iOS app, and logging in with a LucidLink Classic account is not possible.

Connecting to a filespace

Clicking on a filespace immediately establishes a connection, allowing users to browse the folders and files it contains.

When logging in for the first time, no filespaces are connected until one is selected.

Caching

The LucidLink iOS app has a pre-determined cache size of 5GB and will allow for caching of data up to this limit. The cache is used to store data blocks that have recently been viewed/streamed in order to give quick access to them in case they are needed again. All cache is cleared when the app is uninstalled.

Viewing media files inside the app

The LucidLink iOS app provides the option to view iOS-native media formats within the app itself as well as watch videos in a floating window. In-app viewing supports streaming data through LucidLink's file system.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of file types supported: mov, mp4, m4a, m4v, caf, wav, aiff, aifc, amr, mp3, au, ac3, eac3, 3gpp, 3gpp2, flac, w64, m4b, aac, adts, m4r. 

Sharing and opening files in 3rd party apps

Any file in the LucidLink iOS app can also be shared and viewed with a 3rd party client app. This, however, requires a full file download as the LucidLink app shared complete files with 3rd party applications.
