I encountered the same issue about wireless file transfer to my desktop from either my Canon 5D Mark IV or from my Canon M5. Utility 3 works fine with my Mark IV, but won't register my M5, so I can't use it with Utility 3.

HOWEVER, Raw file transfers can be made to your desktop from your M5 in a very simple process that makes use of the Canon Image Gateway using the Image Sync Utility.

1) Set up your Canon Image Gateway account and register your M5.

2) Set up Web Services for Canon Image Gateway and for Image Sync.

wow, not sure I would have ever figured this out. I would have been miserable forever, resenting why Canon made me not use EOS utility to download my pics over WiFi...

Thanks very much for your solution!

It seems a little sketchy though needing to upload the files to their servers... not that it's a big deal to me in general... but, and it's not because I have anything to hide, I just have a memory in my head of creepy ppl manipulating "evidence" to punish them because they get paid to punish people and they need somebody to punish, so why not punish the person you feel comfortable... sorry to ramble, but it's sort of human nature sometimes to do really weird stuff because just because... I dunno why it is exactly that people do some things... like kids drinking boiling water or whatever bizarre stuff people are up to... so it's just like a possibility of transmitting so much high quality information over the internet unnecessarily... of course it's good in a lot of ways,, just another vulnerability though...
