Turn your iPhone or iPad into a tether for your camera. CloudTether connects over a USB cable or Wi-Fi, catches every shot the moment you take it, and lands the full-resolution file in an album in seconds — no laptop, no card reader, no desktop tethering software. CHOOSE WHERE SHOTS GO When a camera connects, pick where its shots go: Unsorted, an album on this phone, or a cloud album. The choice is remembered for each camera, so next time it's one tap. Shoot first, decide later — anything taken before you choose lands in Unsorted and can be moved anytime. ALBUMS ON YOUR PHONE AND IN THE CLOUD • Playback splits every shot into Device and Cloud tabs. • Unsorted and albums on this phone stay on this device. • Cloud albums sync to your account on every device and the web, always upload the originals, and deliver to the destinations you attach.
