Sony to Dropbox live

Tether your Sony to your phone over USB or Wi-Fi and deliver every shot straight to Dropbox the instant you press the shutter — no laptop, no SD-card import. The go-to for client delivery folders.

How to live-upload Sony photos to Dropbox

Connect your Sony to your phone and every shot lands in Dropbox live as you shoot. Here's the full setup, start to finish:

  1. 1

    Connect your Sony

    Connect over USB with the camera in PC Remote mode for a stable, high-speed tether. Or tether over Wi-Fi. Note: in PC Remote, some Sony bodies route captures to the buffer rather than the card — both work with CloudTether.

  2. 2

    Connect Dropbox

    Connects via Dropbox OAuth — no passwords stored. Pick where photos should land — each session becomes its own dated folder. Share a link before you pack up the kit.

  3. 3

    Shoot as normal

    Every frame your Sony captures is detected and downloaded at full resolution while you keep shooting — JPEG, or RAW on Pro.

  4. 4

    Photos deliver to Dropbox

    Each photo uploads from your phone once and lands in Dropbox live, seconds after the shutter — and fans out to any other destinations on the session too (Pro).
