It just supported Google Drive and Flickr when image.canon introduced back in February. At the time, Canon prepared to expand assistance to Google Photos and Adobe Creative Cloud in June, but that schedule obviously slipped a bit– likely due to the uncommon events of 2020.

There is a caveat to using Google Photos integration. It requires a subscription to Google One, the service that offers users additional online storage space plus some perks like discount rates on Google Store purchases and boosted customer support. Canon is offering one month of 100GB Google One free of charge, in case you wish to attempt it out for a bit prior to it starts to cost money.

Ask any professional photographer and almost all of them will state the thing they want their video cameras would do is automatically submit images to a preferred cloud storage service just like their phones. After Canon provided up on its Irista cloud storage service previously this year, it introduced a brand-new job called image.canon.

Linking to the Google Photos and Creative Cloud services is now live and can be done through the image.canon app, offered for Android and iOS. Simply connect your video camera to the desired services, then it will automatically upload files in their original quality and format whenever it is switched on and can reach a known Wi-Fi signal. Youll require a supported Canon camera– theres a list here, organized by region and classification.
