Canon Camera now supports automatic backups to Google Photos via the Android, iOS app

Canon cameras now support automatic backups to Google Photos via the latest image.canon app update on Android and iOS. Google has announced that it has worked with Canon to add support for Google Photos as a backup option in its image.canon app. Google says Canon users will get one month free subscription to Google One with 100GB of cloud storage. Images will be stored in the cloud in their original resolution. This feature requires a Google One subscription to work.

Google’s blog post states that you must have the latest version of the image.canon app, which can be downloaded for free on Android and iOS. Second, you’ll need a compatible Canon camera for this to work. This includes Canon cameras that are already compatible with the image.canon app. Of course, it supports all the latest mirrorless models like EOS R5, EOS R6 as well as several DSLR models like EOS 5D Mark IV and EOS 1500D. It also offers the added benefit of automatically backing up your photos to the cloud. Photos need to be transferred to your phone or tablet before they can be uploaded to Google Photos.

Canon’s image.canon app currently supports backups to Google Drive and YouTube, and the latest version adds Google Photos as another backup option. Note that you need a paid subscription to Google One to use this feature. In India, membership fees start from money. 130 per month for 100GB. You can save some money 1,300 annually. Google offers multiple plans, up to 30TB for cloud storage. 9,750 per month.

While this is a very useful addition for Canon users, it is also an opportunity for Google to get more users to subscribe to Google One. Unfortunately, the free high-resolution backup option you get with the Google Photos app isn’t available here, and users won’t be able to choose whether to get paid subscriptions if they want to back up photos to their original resolution.
