The auto-transfer function available through the canon connect app auto transfers images shot to your smartphone. Getting it to google photos requires another hop. I have no advice regarding the latter. I haven’t played with image.canon; it would presumably need access to internet via your smartphone or a WiFi router to complete the transaction. I would guess image.canon has google photos API access, which probably requires setup. The only thing I do is auto transfer to my phone. The rest, nope, but on paper, it sounds do-able. Some work needed. It’s not auto-magic

thanks

yes I think if it’s fairly automatic to get into the phone then I can let Google photos app just auto upload.

it’s whether you have to mess around turning on Wi-Fi on the camera and then connecting from the camera and then selecting photos. It’s like that on my Sony and it’s more hassle than it’s worth.

so was hoping that canon maybe a bit more automatic background transfers.
