Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.

But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

Oof, that is new, the camera connect app used to work without an account before.

Yes, they announced it last month, so the forced implementation happened very quickly. Asshole move by Canon.

Can't you downgrade to the old version?

Fuck forced accounts.

Yup, sucks. What I do is just take out the card a plug it into a little USB dongle thing which I can plug into either my phone or laptop.

Also faster than the app too. The app uses WiFi or Bluetooth. Its also annoyingly finicky to connect tk the camera.

What's wild to me is that anyone would do it any other way. I'm astounded that this is somehow a "tip".

Not even 10 years ago it was simply the way to do it.

Advantage of using the app: Remote shutter/control.
Very convenient if you take lunar photos.

Depends on your workflow.

As an example, if I'm in a studio and have a camera set up a certain way, it's highly inconvenient to have to turn it off, pull the card out (which can mean removing it from the tripod if the card slot is on the bottom of the camera), plug it into a phone or laptop, copy the image, load the image for review, eject the card, reinsert the card, set the camera up again...

I mean, holy shit.

Why do that when you can tap the gallery through the app (already connected because you've got live view going), click on the photo, open it for review, keep shooting.

Of course, if you've shot a big day and have to offload 100gb of photos and video, an external card reader is the only way to go.

But for studio, live sessions, or quick shots, app transfer is so much easier. Some cameras have NFC, so you just tap your phone and start the transfer.

None of this has ever been a problem. It's the requirement to have a connected account that makes it a problem.

Yeah but the app also does remote control / viewing. The transfer is a bonus of being able to quickly do the transfer and text it to someone right away.

Of course, none of this matters because I don't have Chrome on my new phone and can't even create the stupid account if I wanted to.

Also, can't find information about which version they rolled that out in and get an older version.
