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 Sony Creators' App.
Sony's Creators' App is Sony's official companion app for transferring images, remote shooting and, more recently, uploading to Sony's Creators' Cloud and onward to services like Google Drive or Lightroom — for Sony bodies.
The Creators' App is built for the Sony ecosystem and routes through Sony's own cloud. CloudTether is brand- and destination-agnostic: the same app tethers Sony, Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm and delivers every full-resolution shot directly to the destinations you choose — client galleries, FTP/SFTP, S3, multiple at once — without routing through a single manufacturer's cloud.
If you shoot only Sony and are happy inside Sony's Creators' Cloud ecosystem, the first-party app is free and well-integrated. CloudTether is the better fit when you shoot more than one brand, want delivery straight to client-facing destinations (galleries, FTP) rather than a manufacturer cloud, or need to fan out to several destinations at once.
Yes — for photographers who want camera-to-cloud delivery to their own destinations (Dropbox, Google Drive, SmugMug, ShootProof, FTP and more) and across Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm as well as Sony, rather than routing through Sony's Creators' Cloud.
Yes. One app covers Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm over USB or Wi-Fi — useful if you shoot more than one system or work with a mixed-brand team.
CloudTether is available on iOS and Android.
