🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips

If LucidLink doesn’t mount or shows errors, try these steps.


Restart Your Workstation

  1. Log out of the CREE8 Desktop App.

  2. Close the app completely.

  3. Reopen it and sign in again.


Clean Local Cache

  3. Click Clean Local Cache.

  4. Try mounting again.


For Mac Users

If you’re on Mac and still have issues:

  • Restart your Mac.

  • Open the CREE8 Desktop App.

  • Try mounting again.

  1. Delete existing files: Open Finder, press Command-Shift-G, paste /usr/local/bin/lucid and delete the files in that location.

  2. Run terminal command: Open Terminal and paste this command:

    which lucid2 | xargs -I '{}' sudo cp {} /usr/local/bin/lucid && echo "Copy success, workaround applied." || (echo "Copy failed, retrying with link" && sudo ln -s /Applications/Lucid.app/Contents/Resources/Lucid /usr/local/bin/lucid && echo "Link success, workaround applied" || echo "Apply workaround failed, contact customer success")
  3. Enter password: Press Enter and type your Mac user password when prompted.

Your Flex project should mount after completing these steps.

Note:

If this doesn't work and you're still having issues try checking your network.

Checking Your Network

LucidLink requires these ports to be open:

TCP 443

  • UDP 443

  • UDP 53

If you use a VPN or firewall, make sure they allow this traffic.

  • Take a screenshot of any error messages.

  • Note your workstation name.

  • Contact CREE8 Support for help.


✅ That’s it—your Filespace should now be ready to use!
