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 Nikon SnapBridge.
SnapBridge is Nikon's free official app for pairing a Nikon camera with your phone over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi — transferring photos to the phone and basic remote control.
SnapBridge is single-brand and built around moving images onto your phone (often reduced-size by default) plus light remote control. CloudTether is built around automatic, full-resolution delivery onward to the cloud destinations you choose — hands-free as you shoot, and to several at once — across Nikon, Canon, Sony and Fujifilm.
If you just want occasional free transfers of a few shots to your phone within Nikon's ecosystem, SnapBridge is free and built in. CloudTether is for working delivery — every frame, full-resolution, straight to the cloud or a client gallery.
If your goal is to get every Nikon shot off the camera and into the cloud automatically at full resolution — rather than transferring a few to your phone — CloudTether is purpose-built for that, and also works with Canon, Sony and Fujifilm.
Yes. CloudTether delivers full-resolution JPEGs (and NEF RAW on Pro) straight to destinations like Dropbox, Google Drive, SmugMug and FTP in real time.
CloudTether is launching on iOS and Android soon.
