Stop offloading SD cards. CloudTether is camera to cloud built for stills photographers: connect your Canon, Sony, Nikon or Fujifilm over USB or Wi-Fi and upload every full-resolution shot to the cloud the instant you press the shutter — no laptop, no dedicated hardware, no cables to a computer. Just the camera, your phone and your destination of choice.
Tether your camera to your phone over USB-C or Wi-Fi (PTP/IP). CloudTether opens a session and watches for captures.
Every time the shutter fires, the new full-resolution file — RAW or JPEG — is detected and downloaded automatically.
Each shot is uploaded to your destination in real time, so images are in the cloud within seconds of capture.
Most “camera to cloud” tools are built for video crews — Frame.io, Atomos and dedicated C2C hardware for the broadcast and Adobe review pipeline. CloudTether is the stills version: it reads the full-resolution RAW or JPEG your camera records and delivers it to the destinations photographers actually use, with no hardware and no laptop. It also doesn't lock your originals into one platform's gallery — your photos go where you point them.
Send camera to cloud, camera to gallery, or camera to your own server — pick any destination and CloudTether delivers every frame there live.

Buying a camera with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to get photos to your phone? Here's which one actually moves the pictures — and why it matters.
Camera to cloud is a workflow where every photo you take is uploaded straight from your camera to a cloud destination — Dropbox, Google Drive, a client gallery, an S3 bucket — as you shoot, instead of waiting to offload an SD card later. CloudTether does this from your phone: connect the camera over USB or Wi-Fi, and each full-resolution capture is detected, downloaded and delivered in real time.
No. CloudTether runs on your phone, so the camera tethers directly to the device in your pocket and uploads over its mobile or Wi-Fi connection. There's no laptop, no Capture One session and no cables to a computer — just the camera, your phone and your cloud.
Both. CloudTether delivers the full-resolution file the camera writes — RAW (CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF), JPEG or HEIF — to your chosen destination. If your camera records RAW+JPEG, you can deliver either or both.
Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm bodies that support USB tethering (PTP) or Wi-Fi (PTP/IP) work with CloudTether — from the Canon EOS R5 and Sony a7 IV to the Nikon Z8 and Fujifilm X-T5. See the cameras hub for your exact model.
Yes. CloudTether detects each shot the instant the shutter fires and begins the upload immediately, so images land in the cloud within seconds of capture — fast enough for live client galleries and same-day delivery.
It's the same idea, applied to stills. Frame.io's Camera to Cloud is built for professional video and the Adobe review pipeline, often with dedicated hardware. CloudTether brings the camera-to-cloud workflow to photographers: it tethers a Canon, Sony, Nikon or Fujifilm to your phone and delivers every full-resolution frame to your own destinations — no broadcast hardware, no laptop.
Yes — that's exactly what CloudTether is. Where most camera-to-cloud tools target video crews, CloudTether is built for stills: full-resolution RAW or JPEG, delivery to the cloud storage and client galleries photographers already use, across all four major camera brands, entirely from your phone.
