Hi Ketama and MyM3, this is so frustrating, I bought a Wifi camera (A Canon gx7 mkii) with the understanding that I would be able upload images directly to my MacBook.

It seems neither CameraWindow or Image Transfer Utility works directly.

Canon support don't seem to have any interest in resolving this, I'm discussing it with them on the Canon Community but it seems this problem has been kicking around now since 2015 !!!

Hi

This is a picture of my M100 sending to my Macbook.

M100 sending directly to computer.

It works the same for my other cameras. It works very stable for me. But occasionally if the camera can not connect to the mac for some reason, it will send via the server (on the Internet) and that obviously takes much longer time.
