RawShare is a utility for photographers who need to move high-resolution images from their Sony camera to their phone. While some official tools are limited to JPEG-only transfers on certain models, RawShare allows you to access and download both RAW (.ARW) and JPEG files. This gives you the ability to edit and share the full quality of your photos directly from your mobile device. What RawShare Does: If you have found that other Sony camera apps lack RAW support for your specific model, RawShare provides a dedicated way to access those files. It utilizes the Wi-Fi connection between your camera and smartphone to move uncompressed data. Key Features: Full RAW Support: Download .ARW files directly to your phone for professional editing. JPEG Export: Wireless transfer for quick sharing. File Browser: View thumbnails on your camera and choose exactly what to download to save phone storage. Direct Sharing: Send files straight to your photo library, cloud storage, or messaging apps. Focused Interface: A simple tool for transferring your photos without extra features. How it Works: This app utilizes the "Send to Computer" Wi-Fi function built into many Sony Alpha and Cyber-shot models. Connect your smartphone and your camera to the same Wi-Fi network Open RawShare to browse and transfer your images. Tested Camera Models: The following models have been verified for RAW/JPEG transfer: Sony Alpha: A7 III, A7R II, A6400 Sony Cyber-shot: HX-50V, ZV-1 (M1) Known Unsupported Models: A7C, A6400A, A6400AK (These models do not include the "Send to Computer" function). Note: I am still testing compatibility across the Sony lineup. If your model isn't listed or you have questions, please reach out at rawshare.app@gmail.com. Privacy & Data: Local Transfer: Your photos move directly from your camera to your device. No external servers are used. No Tracking: No personal data is collected. Anonymous crash reports are sent via Firebase to help keep the app stable on different phone models.

Verdict

RawShare's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
