How do I upload photos from my camera to the cloud automatically?

Use your camera's built-in FTP transfer over Wi-Fi or a tethered phone. The camera sends each frame to a server as you shoot, so the photos arrive without a card reader, a laptop, or an import step. Most professional bodies from Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fujifilm support FTP or FTPS natively.

What you need

  • A camera with FTP transfer (built in, or via a grip or wireless transmitter).
  • A network at the venue. Venue Wi-Fi if it is reliable, otherwise a phone hotspot.
  • An FTP destination that files photos into the right album on arrival.

What it changes

The import step disappears. It is not that importing gets faster: it stops existing, because the photos are already on the server by the time you put the camera down. That is the difference between delivering tonight and delivering on Thursday.

In SnapFlow

Each album has FTP credentials. Point the camera at them and frames land in that album as you shoot, get thumbnailed, and appear in the guest gallery immediately.
