How to back up photos to the cloud while you shoot

4 min read

Back up every frame to the cloud the moment you capture it, so a lost or corrupt card never costs you a shoot.

The problem with end-of-day backup

If your only copy lives on the SD card until you get home, a lost, stolen or corrupt card means lost work — and on a paid job, that's a disaster you can't reshoot. The fix is to back up as you go, not hours later.

Real-time cloud backup

Tether your camera to your phone and have each shot upload to the cloud the instant you take it. Within seconds of the shutter, there's a second copy off the card and off-site — in Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, your own FTP/WebDAV server, or all of them at once.

No venue Wi-Fi? No problem

Your phone's mobile data handles the upload, so you're covered anywhere you have signal. If the connection drops, photos queue on the phone and resume automatically — nothing is lost.

Set it up once

With CloudTether you create a session, pick your backup destinations, and shoot. Full-resolution originals (JPEG, or RAW on Pro) upload automatically while you keep working — no manual import, no laptop.
