Please fix SFTP

SFTP has the same old authentication problems from way back since v1 Why can’t Sony get this pivotal feature right. Also can you add star ratings so you can select which images to ftp based on star rating. Thanks.

Simply the worst app I have ever used.

Need serious work done

awkward to use

Operation is sporadic and unreliable, and there’s no reason for it to require yet another account to sign up for and log in to.

Sony a1 transfer

How can Sony build such an amazing camera but can’t develop an app that connects easily and transfers the images you want easily? I paid way too much for my a1 and a9 to deal with a app like this.

Error 400

Not only am I getting a plain text error, I am getting the full line of code that is supposed to throw the error. This is both hilarious in how bad it is and is probably a security risk. Sony needs to fix this asap.

Sony is so bad at apps

It is sad. Makes me want to buy a different camera.

Doesn’t work

I have an A7riii and could NOT get pics to ftp over to my iPhone 12 Pro. The only way was to get pics from the imaging edge app, but that would be transferring them twice. Pointless. Even though I’m quite familiar with ftp servers, even following their directions was useless. Disappointing since I love everything else about the camera, and the imaging edge app works decent enough. This app was supposed to save steps, but in fact I only added more.

Dropbox, Google Drive integration?

Would be nice to see this link with 3rd party apps such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc

Almost pointless on iPhones, thanks to Apple

The app relies on a Wi-Fi connection to the camera to FTP JPEGs. When there is no access point available, as is often the case for most of this app’s intended users, the app must use the phone’s hotspot to create an access point for the cameras. The problem is that iPhones automatically turn off their hotspots when it detects no active connections. Every time this happens I have to take the phone out, re-enable the hotspot and restart the FTP server in the app. This happens when the camera idles to sleep, is turned off or has the FTP power save function enabled — in other words: All. The. Freaking. Time. Do not fault Sony for this because it is Apple who forces this on users without an option to disable the timeout. I’m sure this is less of an issue for sports photographers who have thousands of images transferring slowly enough that the hotspot connection never times out. But for photographers with more sporadic transfers like news photographers, this app is a no-go on the iPhone.

Doesn’t work with a7r 4a

Won’t pair via bluetooth. Camera doesn’t show up
