How to auto-upload photos from your camera as you shoot
Manual offloading is death by a thousand steps: import, wait, find the folder, drag, wait for the sync, double-check it actually finished. Do it after every shoot and it's hours a week of mechanical work that adds nothing to the photos.
What "auto-upload" should actually mean
Real automation isn't a faster import — it's no import at all. The moment the camera writes a file, it should be detected and sent onward without you touching anything. That only works if something is watching the camera live, which is exactly what a tethering app does.
How CloudTether automates it
Connect your camera to your phone once over USB or Wi-Fi and pick a destination. From then on, every capture is detected the instant the shutter fires, downloaded at full resolution, and uploaded automatically. You don't open a transfer dialog or pick files — you just shoot, and they arrive.
Pick the destination once
Point a session at Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, a SmugMug or ShootProof gallery, an FTP/SFTP server or an S3 bucket. The routing is set for the whole session, so a full day of shooting flows into the right place with zero per-photo decisions.
Hands-free, even when the network blips
Uploads run in the background while you keep working. If the connection drops, frames are queued and sent automatically when it returns — so "automatic" really means automatic, not "automatic until something goes wrong."
FAQ
Do I have to pick which photos to upload?
No. Once a session is running, every shot is uploaded automatically. You can also cull in the destination afterwards if you only want to keep selects.
Does it keep uploading if I lock my phone?
Uploads continue in the background. On iOS, CloudTether uses a background upload service so transfers keep running even when the app isn't in the foreground.
