Foreword

Every RAW image and every 4K+ video is a poem written by a photographer with light. The more valuable the content material, the more reliable the storage must be. A photographer's storage and backup device must not only preserve thousands of moments but also withstand accidental loss and facilitate efficient collaboration, allowing you to focus on your creative work.

Is This Your Everyday Reality?

You shoot from dawn till dusk, capturing dozens of frames of the same angle; a single video recording takes up several GB, with high-resolution raw footage even exceeding tens of GB.

Memory cards frequently run out of space, forcing you to swap them hastily during breaks, only to review clips in scattered moments—you can finally breathe a sigh of relief only after the last shot is taken.

And this is precisely where data risks begin to lurk...

Only Photographers Know the Struggle

Travel photography, wedding shoots, peak-season assignments... these high-stakes shooting scenarios often come with chaotic environments and tight schedules. Amid frantic card swaps and shutter presses, accidents can happen—lost memory cards, unreadable oversized files, or even accidental formatting.

What’s even more anxiety-inducing is the backup dilemma. You know your original photos need protection, but real-world constraints always seem to get in the way:

  • Backing up with a laptop: Requires interrupting the shoot, finding a table, and connecting a card reader—killing both inspiration and momentum.
  • Using a portable hard disk: Constant plugging and unplugging during multi-card rotations is time-consuming, and the drive itself is vulnerable to shock damage.
  • Relying on public cloud storage: On-site internet is often unstable; uploading tens of gigabytes feels like “filling the ocean with an eyedropper,” not to mention data caps.

The result? You’re forced to choose between “risking it and continuing to shoot” and “stopping to back up.” Most grit their teeth and choose the former—until disaster strikes: a card that won’t read after wrapping, accidentally formatting the wrong card in the chaos, or losing a full day’s work due to corruption.

One-Click Backup & Real-Time Collaboration: PocketCloud is The Best Nas for Photographers

For photographers, every photo and video is a valuable piece of “digital asset,” deserving smarter and more reliable protection. In the past, you might have been stuck choosing between expensive, connectivity-dependent cloud storage and local drives that merely hoard files. Now, PocketCloud offers a compact yet powerful new solution.

When your camera's memory card runs out of space on set, simply insert the removed SD card into PocketCloud's card slot—backup starts automatically. You won’t need to pause shooting, and your data is instantly protected.

Beyond direct SD card insertion, you can also connect a card reader via the USB 3.0 port for high-speed transfers. PocketCloud supports a wide range of photo formats, including mainstream RAW files (such as.CR2, .NEF, and .ARW), preserving every original image in its full quality.

Better yet, you can invite team members to access a shared sub-account. Footage is synchronized in real time after backup, allowing shooting, culling, and editing to happen simultaneously—multiplying workflow efficiency for collaborative projects.

Even for quick mobile shoots, photos and videos can quickly eat up your phone’s storage. You need to back them up, but worry about losing the dynamic magic of Live Photos? With PocketCloud’s mobile album backup, every detail of the original file is retained. Free up space effortlessly—whether for the next shoot or the upcoming Christmas holiday season, you’re ready to capture more unforgettable moments.
