Camera-to-cloud workflow

Camera to cloud, straight from your phone

Stop offloading SD cards. CloudTether connects your camera over USB or Wi-Fi and uploads every full-resolution shot to the cloud the instant you press the shutter — no laptop, no tethering session, no cables to a computer. Just the camera, your phone and your destination of choice.

How camera to cloud works

1. Connect

Tether your camera to your phone over USB-C or Wi-Fi (PTP/IP). CloudTether opens a session and watches for captures.

2. Capture

Every time the shutter fires, the new full-resolution file — RAW or JPEG — is detected and downloaded automatically.

3. Deliver

Each shot is uploaded to your destination in real time, so images are in the cloud within seconds of capture.

Camera-to-cloud FAQ

What does “camera to cloud” mean?

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.

Do I need a laptop for a camera-to-cloud workflow?

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.

Does it upload RAW files or just JPEGs?

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.

Which cameras work with camera to cloud?

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.

Is the upload real-time?

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.
