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 PhotoSync.
PhotoSync is a well-regarded general-purpose transfer app: it moves photos and videos between phones, computers, NAS and cloud services, and its 'shoot & transfer' feature can pull images off some Wi-Fi cameras. It's a flexible transfer-and-backup utility for moving libraries around.
PhotoSync is a Swiss-army transfer tool — its job is moving existing photos between devices and services. CloudTether is purpose-built for the working shoot: it tethers the camera (USB or Wi-Fi) and delivers every full-resolution frame in real time, the instant you fire, to the professional destinations photographers use — client galleries (SmugMug, ShootProof), FTP/SFTP, S3 — and to several at once.
If you mainly need to shuffle photo and video libraries between your phone, computer, NAS and cloud — backup and general transfer across many device types — PhotoSync is excellent and very flexible. CloudTether is the better fit when the job is real-time, hands-free delivery from the camera to client-facing destinations as you shoot.
For getting every shot from your camera to the cloud live as you shoot — to client galleries, FTP and multiple destinations at once — CloudTether is purpose-built for that working-photographer workflow. PhotoSync is a broader transfer utility for moving libraries between devices and services.
Yes. The moment the shutter fires, the full-resolution file is detected, downloaded and uploaded to your chosen destination — typically within seconds — rather than transferred in a batch afterwards.
CloudTether is available on iOS and Android.
