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!

How are you transferring these files? I understand it’s less convenient but could you maybe take the sd card out and plug it into a laptop instead?
WIFI. Way, way more convenient (before this BS) than taking out the SD card.
But this goes beyond just transferring images. If I wanted to use live view, I have to use the app. If I want to geotag photos, I have to use the app.
None of those features require Canon’s servers, so it’s infuriating that I have to “log in” for this nonsense.
How else are they supposed to gather data to sell to advertisers and train their eventual Ai bullshit?
I’m so over these corporate walled gardens trying suck every last drop of profitability from people.
OMFG, I just checked the app, and under their “Recommended apps and services” is an AI image upscale option. If this can’t be done on-device, then I guarantee your photos are being used for their gain.
So pulling out the SD card works?
I would hope/assume so. If they ever decided to encrypt the SD card and force you to use the app to decrypt it, I would throw their products against the wall.
