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 Imaging Edge Mobile.
Imaging Edge Mobile (now Sony's Creators' App) is Sony's free official app for connecting an Alpha camera to your phone over Wi-Fi/Bluetooth — transferring images and basic remote shooting.
Sony's app is single-brand and focused on transferring images to your phone and remote control. CloudTether focuses on automatic delivery onward — every full-resolution frame routed to the cloud destinations you pick, hands-free while you shoot, and to multiple destinations at once — across Sony, Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm.
If you only need to copy a few shots to your phone occasionally within Sony's ecosystem, the official app is free and fine. CloudTether is for getting every frame delivered to the cloud or a client gallery as you work.
If you want every Alpha shot delivered to the cloud automatically at full resolution rather than transferred a few at a time to your phone, CloudTether is built for that — and also supports Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm.
Yes — CloudTether connects to Sony bodies over USB (PC Remote) or Wi-Fi and delivers each shot onward to your cloud destinations in real time.
CloudTether is launching on iOS and Android soon.
