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!

    You’ll end up with better quality images this way compared to transferring them to Canon servers where they’ll likely be compressed or altered.

      They’re not being transmitted to canon before downloading. The camera starts a (slow) local WiFi network that the phone can connect to and it directly transfers that way. This means you still get full quality RAW files

      Not to mention likely cataloged by geotag and used for “targeted marketing” by Canon and “select partners”.

      That shit is just creepy.
