CloudTether tethers your camera to your phone over USB or Wi-Fi and delivers every shot to the cloud in real time — no laptop, no SD-card shuffle. Here's how it compares to Frame.io Camera to Cloud.
Frame.io Camera to Cloud (C2C), part of Adobe, pioneered real-time upload from set to the cloud for review and collaboration. It's strongest in professional video and hybrid productions — often paired with supported cameras, dedicated C2C hardware (like a Teradek) and the Adobe/Frame.io review ecosystem.
Frame.io C2C is built around production review and the Adobe ecosystem, and on the capture side often leans on dedicated hardware and supported devices. CloudTether is a phone-first stills workflow: it tethers a Canon, Sony, Nikon or Fujifilm over USB or Wi-Fi and delivers every full-resolution frame straight to the destinations photographers use — cloud storage, client galleries, FTP — with no extra hardware.
If you're running a video or hybrid production inside the Adobe/Frame.io review pipeline — and you have the supported cameras or C2C hardware — Frame.io is the natural choice. CloudTether is the better fit for stills photographers who want laptop-free, hardware-free real-time delivery to their own destinations.
Yes — for stills photographers who want real-time camera-to-cloud delivery without dedicated C2C hardware or the Adobe pipeline. CloudTether runs on your phone and delivers to Dropbox, Google Drive, client galleries, FTP and more. You can also deliver into Frame.io itself as a destination.
No. CloudTether tethers the camera directly to your phone over USB or its own Wi-Fi — there's no Teradek-style device or capture hardware to buy.
CloudTether is available on iOS and Android.
