Sony has updated its Creators’ Cloud platform so that images uploaded to a user’s cloud storage from select Sony cameras can be automatically transferred to Google Drive or Adobe Lightroom. With Google Drive, you can save photos for backup and sharing, and with Adobe Lightroom, images can be processed almost immediately, even by a remote editor. The feature is only compatible with recent Sony cameras (including the FX3, FX30, A1, ZV-E10 II, and A9 III) that support the ability to upload images to the cloud over Wi-Fi or through Sony’s Creators’ App available for Android, iOS, and iPadOS mobile devices.
Images are first uploaded to Sony’s Creators‘ Cloud storage directly before being sent to either Google Drive or Lightroom. That offers an added level of redundancy, while also allowing photographers to incorporate other cloud storage solutions into their workflows they may already pay for.
All Sony Creators’ Cloud users get 5GB of storage for free, or 25GB if they’re using it with a Sony camera. Sony also offers two premium tiers with 100GB of storage for $4.99 per month and $59.88 annually, or 500GB for $9.99 per month and $119.88 annually.
Sony recently updated Creators’ Cloud to include a differential transfer feature in the Sony’s Creators’ App that limits image transfers between a Sony camera and a mobile device to only new photos or images that haven’t been previously transferred over.
Sony has also added “advanced control options” to its mobile app, allowing users of select Sony cameras to adjust certain camera settings directly from a connected smartphone or tablet.
