LucidLink

LucidLink is a cloud storage service that emulates a locally mounted drive.

The LucidLink service runs on the Slingshot worker and handles syncing with the cloud.

In general, Slingshot doesn't know or care that LucidLink is doing magic in the background, it thinks it's just copying files locally as usual.

Watchfolder Support

The one area where special care is needed is using the Watchfolder input on a LucidLink share.

LucidLink creates empty, 0-byte files as placeholders while waiting for data to sync to the cloud. Our watchfolder will trigger when those empty files are created but we need to wait until the data is actually available before processing them.

To solve this, use the Wait for LucidLink action module, which simply polls LucidLink and waits for it to report that the file exists.
