According to Google, “If you own a DSLR or point-and-shoot camera, you know that getting your photos backed up can be a process. You often need cables or adapters to take them off of your camera or SD card and save them, and it might take a number of steps to get it all done.”
A couple of years ago, Google launched a partner program for third-party integrations, and Canon is the most recent company to join the bandwagon. Working together, Google and Canon integrated Google Photos into the image.canon app which is available on Android and iOS.
Most present-day DSLR and mirrorless cameras are compatible models and so you can connect them to image.canon. It allows you to set up automatic transfers in the app making sure that photos of original quality are beamed to the Google Photos cloud without having to bother about dealing with the files on your phone or computer.
Google further states that “In addition to a compatible Canon camera and the image.canon app, you’ll also need a Google One membership to use this feature. To help get started, Canon users will get one month of Google One free, providing access to up to 100 GB of cloud storage, as well as other member benefits, such as premium support from Google experts and family sharing.”
