Build 3.3.7766
Product Update: Enterprise-Ready Connectivity & Security
We are excited to announce a significant update to LucidLink’s networking capabilities, designed to meet the infrastructure requirements of our global enterprise partners and customers. This update focuses on easy integration into secure, high-scale corporate environments.
Enhanced Proxy & Infrastructure Support
Enhanced proxy & infrastructure support to meet rigid security and networking standards, we have expanded our infrastructure support to include domain-based proxy configurations.
- Improved Network Routing (FQDN): We now support Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) based proxy configurations. This allows LucidLink to fit easily into complex corporate firewalls and modern network architectures without the need for manual workarounds or complex custom scripts.
- Built for Global Scale: These updates eliminate the dependency on static IP addresses. IT teams can now deploy and manage LucidLink across dynamic, secure global networks with greater agility and less administrative overhead.
What this means for you:
IT administrators can now leverage their existing DNS and proxy management tools to route LucidLink traffic, ensuring compliance with internal security policies while providing users with the same high-speed file access they expect.

Guest Access for External Users
We are excited to introduce Guest Access, a new feature designed to streamline how you share content with external users. You can now securely share folders with clients, freelancers, or vendors without requiring them to have a paid LucidLink seat or install the desktop client.
Key Features:
- Share via Web: Admins, Owners, and Filespace Admins can now invite external users to specific folders directly from the LucidLink Web dashboard (app.lucidlink.com).
- Frictionless Login with Code: Guests access files via a secure link and authenticate using a temporary code sent to their email. No password creation or complex account setup is required.
- Read-Only Web Access: Guests can preview and download files via a web interface but cannot upload, edit, or delete content.
- Security & Control: Admins retain full control and can revoke guest access individually on folder level or remove the user entirely at any time via the Members tab.
- Upgrade Path: If a collaborator needs to edit files later, Admins can upgrade a Guest to a Standard Member (paid seat) directly from the Members list.
Important Notes for this Release:
- Availability: This feature is not available for LucidLink Classic filespaces. Guest access can be granted only via LucidLink’s web client and guest links can be opened only via the web client as well. The feature is available on all LucidLink plans.
- Permissions: Currently, only Admins, Owners, and Filespace Admins can grant guest access.
- Session Limits: Guests logging in via code have a 12-hour session duration (shorter than the normal web login session)
- Auditing: This release does not support audit logging for the specific granting of guest access.
Prerequisites:
- Filespaces that are not LucidLink Classic.
- Access to the LucidLink Web Client.
Directory Management API
The Directory Management API brings key folder management actions you’re familiar with in the LucidLink client into a programmatic interface, so teams can automate and standardize directory operations across workflows.
LucidAPI Directory management
New endpoint for directory and entry operations at /filespaces/:filespaceId/entries:
- Create directories: Create folders in your filespace.
- Delete directories: Remove empty directories.
- List directory contents: Enumerate child entries with cursor-based pagination.
- Resolve path to ID: Convert filesystem paths to entry IDs.
- Get entry by ID: Retrieve directory and file metadata by ID.
Upgrade Tool Enhancements
- Admin eligibility: Owners who have lost the root password for their filespace can now use an admin account to perform the upgrade. This feature must be enabled by support.
- Self-serve filespace unlock: In case of ungraceful exit, owners can now unlock Classic filespaces placed into read-only mode by the Upgrade Tool. Simply restart the upgrade process and select the same filespace from the list to unlock.
- Proxy support: The Upgrade Tool now supports the LucidLink client's automatic proxy detection features and can be used within networks that use an HTTP proxy.
- Minor errors indicator: Users are now given a summary of any minor errors encountered during the upgrade process at the conclusion of upgrading a filespace.
- Enhanced resilience: The Upgrade Tool process is now more resilient to external factors such as network connectivity and internal infrastructure instability.
Bug fixes
- Snapshots: Fixed a bug where use of snapshots could lead to file inconsistencies in rare circumstances.
- General: Fixed a bug that caused support bundle generation to fail on newly upgraded filespaces.
Other Improvements
- When linking to a filespace through the command line and the
--login-tokenoption is passed, the user is prompted to enter it, so it is not kept in the shell history. - 50-100% faster permission operations: Improved performance when granting or revoking permissions.
