Filesystem operations

The SDK lets you work with files and directories in your LucidLink filespaces just like you would with a local filesystem. This makes it easy to build scripts, services, and applications that manage filespace content programmatically.

Capability

Description

Read

Retrieve file contents and metadata from any path within your filespace. Stream large files efficiently without downloading entire objects upfront.

Write

Upload and write files to your filespace from your Python application. Populate project structures, generate reports, or sync data from external sources.

List

Enumerate files and subdirectories within any directory path. Build file manifests, audit content, or navigate filespace structures programmatically.

Delete

Remove files and empty directories from your filespace. Automate cleanup tasks, archive rotations, or decommission temporary project files.

Move

Relocate files and directories to new paths within your filespace. Reorganize project structures or implement naming convention changes at scale.

Copy

Duplicate files within your filespace. Create backups, set up template-based project structures, or distribute shared assets across directories.
