Nikon Imaging Cloud Set Up Walkthrough

Written By Scott Tucker

With a growing number of supported bodies like the Z6iii, Z5ii, Zf, and Z50ii, I wanted to provide Nikon users a thorough yet concise walkthrough of how to set up Nikon Imaging Cloud on their camera, as well as explain the various features Nikon provides.

As of April 2025, the three main features are:

  • Cloud picture recipes

  • Automatic image transfer to cloud file services like OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and more

  • Automatic firmware updates without needing Snapbridge

I will show you how to sign into Imaging Cloud, connect your camera for the first time, send a cloud picture recipe to your camera, and how to link the Nikon account so that your camera can automatically upload data to a file host of your choosing.

Hopefully this makes the process simple and easy for you!
