LucidLink alternative for white-label file delivery
Cloud file streaming and real-time collaboration platform
Sharebrand vs LucidLink: which one is right for you?
LucidLink and Sharebrand address different phases of the same creative workflow. LucidLink keeps your team building together in real time. Sharebrand delivers the result to your client professionally. Most teams that use LucidLink need Sharebrand too — not instead.
Choose Sharebrand if you...
- Need to deliver finished files to clients at your own domain
- Want a branded client portal clients can return to over time

- Want flat pricing that does not scale with team headcount
- Need to charge clients for file downloads
- Want a true white-label reseller program under your own brand

Stick with LucidLink if you...
- Run a distributed production team that actively edits large files together
- Want to eliminate VPNs, hard drive shipping, and file sync overhead

- Work in media, AEC, or marketing with large shared asset libraries
- Need SOC 2, GDPR, and MPAA TPN compliance for production content

LucidLink is fit for internal file sharing, Sharebrand focuses on branded delivery
LucidLink is a powerful file sharing platform for distributed teams — but it lacks a custom domain, white-label delivery, and a client portal for external recipients. Every link a client receives is hosted on LucidLink's infrastructure and branded with LucidLink's name. Sharebrand offers file sharing under your own domain with your logo and branding on every link, starting at $29 a month, with five team seats and no per-user fees.

What is Sharebrand?
Sharebrand is a white-label file sharing platform built for client-facing businesses. It delivers files to clients through your own custom domain with your logo and branding on every link. Clients never see Sharebrand's name. Unlike LucidLink, which is a real-time cloud file streaming and collaboration platform built for distributed production teams, Sharebrand is built for professional branded delivery to external clients. Plans start at $29 per month for up to five team members with no per-user fees.
Does LucidLink support custom domain delivery for clients?
No. LucidLink has no custom domain (CNAME) feature on any plan. File links and guest access pages are hosted on LucidLink's infrastructure under LucidLink's domain. There is no configuration that allows you to deliver files to clients at your own domain through LucidLink. Sharebrand supports full custom domain delivery on every plan, including Starter at $29 per month.
What is LucidLink's Guest Access feature?
Guest Access allows external recipients to browse, preview, and download files from a LucidLink filespace in a browser without a LucidLink account or paid seat. This is useful for sharing work-in-progress with clients or external stakeholders for review. The guest experience is hosted on LucidLink's platform in LucidLink's interface. It is not a white-label delivery experience and there is no way to brand it as your own.
Can I use LucidLink and Sharebrand together?
Yes, and this is the most common setup for agencies and production companies that need both. LucidLink handles internal production: distributed editors and creatives working together on large files in real time from a shared cloud filespace. Sharebrand handles client delivery: finished files sent to clients at your domain in your branded portal. The two products address different phases of the workflow and do not conflict.
How does LucidLink pricing compare to Sharebrand?
LucidLink Starter is $7/member/month. For five members, that is $35/month for 500 GB of pooled high-performance AWS storage with real-time streaming. LucidLink Business is $32/member/month — $160/month for five members with 2 TB pooled and additional governance features. Sharebrand Starter is $29/month flat for up to five members with 3 TB pooled, a custom domain, a branded client portal, and a file payment gate. Both tools at Starter level cost similar amounts for a five-person team; they are buying fundamentally different capabilities.
Is LucidLink suitable for client file delivery?
LucidLink is a genuine and well-regarded file sharing platform, particularly for creative business teams. It ranks highly in independent file sharing comparisons and its own blog positions it among the top ten secure file sharing tools above Dropbox, Box, and WeTransfer. That positioning holds for internal team use cases: sharing large files between distributed editors, collaborators, and internal stakeholders in real time. For outbound branded delivery to external clients — files sent at your own domain, under your logo, through a portal the client sees as yours — LucidLink's Guest Access is a functional workaround but not a purpose-built solution. The delivery experience is LucidLink-branded with no custom domain or white-label option on any plan.
Does Sharebrand support large file delivery like LucidLink?
Sharebrand Starter supports transfers up to 50 GB per file and Pro supports up to 100 GB. These limits cover the final delivery of most creative assets — finished video exports, high-resolution photography, document packages, and design files. LucidLink supports files up to the full storage capacity of the filespace, which is designed for active production assets that may be hundreds of gigabytes or more. For delivering final encoded outputs to clients, Sharebrand's limits are appropriate. For streaming raw production files in real time, LucidLink's architecture is different by design.
Can I resell Sharebrand under my own brand?
Yes. The white-label Reseller plan lets you run a fully branded file-sharing platform under your own name. Your brand replaces Sharebrand's entirely. You set the pricing, connect your own Stripe account, and keep all revenue. LucidLink has an affiliate programme but no white-label reseller platform.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. All Sharebrand plans include a 14-day free trial with full Pro access. No credit card required. You can set up your custom domain, add your branding, and send your first branded client link before paying anything. LucidLink offers a 30-day free trial that includes 1 TB of storage and up to 10 users with no credit card required.
