Why can't this be used for cold storage? Is it just the high price? Also, so all my freelance editors need to download the LucidLink application to download the footage? Can they even download the footage?
It can be used for cold storage if you wanted to (if you choose to link it to your own provider then that may be a good route) but for most it’s a high price for data storage. Yes, the editors just need to install Lucidlink and be given access to the folders you want them to have access to. They don’t necessarily need to download anything as it streams data in real-time but if they needed to they can right click and ‘pin’ a file or folder to save it locally.
