Simply download Canon's free iOS or Android Irista app and you automatically get 15GB cloud storage. Apply the coupons below one by one for additional storage totally free of charge. You need to sign up to an Irista account and verify your email address first. Been using the app all day, and love it so far. Enjoy :)

NOTE: By default, the app settings has both 'Auto Upload Photos' & 'Upload Using Mobile Data' turned on. Each to their own, but unless you have unlimited mobile data, I'd be turning at least the second one off.

App download links:

Apply coupons for additional storage:

    Did this earlier today at work thanks to UKHD… Was wondering if Ozbargain would pick it up… Now I shall wonder no more…

    • Xizo on 07/03/2017 - 08:16

      And first comment too?! Were you refreshing every two seconds to see when OZB would pick it up?!
      You know what you could've done instead….

      • [Deactivated] on 07/03/2017 - 21:28

        Indeed, and thought about it… But on this forum, it was much more fun to wait. I see Ozbargain as more of a people interaction game myself these days.

        Point is, most people have, or know of more great bargains than they share… Myself included… So let's be nice, if we wanna know more bargains, which we do want to know, which is why we are here…

        Off topic:

    Wondering if it's worth the hassle. When I first heard about it, the impression that I got from people who have used it wasn't very good. Right now, using Google photos unlimited with practically no barriers to using it, just set it and forget.

    • abm77 on 06/03/2017 - 22:51

      Who knows, what product Google will be killing next, or what will become of Photos in say 5 years or more. It's prudent to have another cloud as a backup (apart from originals on your own HDD ofc). At least I will consider my new 330Gb storage for that purpose. Tnx TA btw!

      • bchliu on 06/03/2017 - 23:29

        Thats just ridiculous logic. The same can be said of the Canon Cloud as well as any other cloud services. In fact, there's probably a higher chance of the Canon cloud collapsing than it is with Google Photos/Cloud since well, Google Photos is installed almost by default these days in all Android phones.

          Well, your comment is 90% true. apart from the first bit about "ridiculous logic". And to show you my goodwill i will + your comment, even so that you downvoted my without a reason.
          And here just a few of those Google projects mentioned in my first post. http://www.wordstream.com/articles/retired-google-projects

        • dontpanic on 07/03/2017 - 00:13

          @abm77: Yes, but most of those projects failed to get any traction or significant user base. Google Photos is actually one of Google's biggest successes and one of their best apps. There's as much chance of them killing it as there is of them killing Google Maps.

        • black on 07/03/2017 - 00:16

          @dontpanic: They're doing what to Google Maps? :D

        • abm77 on 07/03/2017 - 00:54

          @dontpanic: I sure hope they don't have such plans now, but in a long run anything is possible. I don't want to start a big discussion about it, but in my life I've seen a lot of things come and go that at different moments seemed to stay forever. I'm actually just saying that it's kind of rational to have a backup.

        • dontpanic on 07/03/2017 - 03:23
          +1

          @abm77: Well anything is possible, but it's highly unlikely Google would intentionally do anything that would make you lose your photos. To market Google Photos as a backup solution and then delete all your stuff would be suicide for them. It may get rolled into another product or rebadged or whatever, but I would be confident that your photos will be safe so long as Google exists.

          I wouldn't be so certain about this Canon service.

        • abm77 on 07/03/2017 - 12:52

          @dontpanic: Canon is most certainly less reliable. I just don't like keeping all eggs in one basket. And yea… As long as Google exists, not mentioning they ever changing approach to the privacy and features, which at one time might be unacceptable for some.

  • Bellpop on 06/03/2017 - 22:08

    So like google photos but full res? Do they backup video? I've got more than240gb of photos/vids… having kids will do that

    • Caped Baldy on 06/03/2017 - 22:30
      +2

      Google photos is almost full res anyway. I think the free quality is up to 16mp photos which most phones don't shoot at.

      • shiznit on 06/03/2017 - 22:59

        They do compress your images though, so you will lose some quality. Which you may or may not notice.

  • anonym on 06/03/2017 - 22:08

    Can anyone vouch for how well duplicate photo detection works? Google Photos not so much.

    • abm77 on 06/03/2017 - 23:37

      The service is in its newborn phase. So there's no duplicate photo detection and everything is very basic. And tbh I wouldn't expect this service to last.

      • JerryK on 07/03/2017 - 00:09
        +1

        Actually the service dates back to 2013 when it was called project1709. They renamed it recently, but based on quick look I'm not sure they improved it into state that it can be used as a photo catalog service. But as a additional free backup solution it's probably not bad.

  • thelastnoob on 06/03/2017 - 23:34

    Google photos runs facial recognition for a global database right

  • SnakeDoctor on 08/03/2017 - 14:49

    Son of a …!

    They would only have lost when people uploaded > standard amount; which would only be a subset of people applying these coupons (although these people would possibly be more likely to do so).

    Instead, people feel dudded and don't use at all.

    Might provide them with some feedback :-)

    As stated above, all extra space has been removed and voided upon uploading photos. I emailed irista and got this reply:

    "irista vouchers are for people who have bought genuine Canon products and been rewarded with a voucher. And they are for one use only. We are removing bonuses for customers we believe are misusing irista voucher codes however if you have been sent a voucher code for extra storage please forward the email to me and I would be happy to add the extra storage into your account if this is the case."

    Which I suppose from some points of view is fair.

    However, when you go to delete your account to stop access they have to your information, clicking the "delete your canon ID account" option, prompts them to send you an email "with instructions", however the email sent pertains to resetting your password, and not deleting your account, which i find incredible annoying.

    • Jared17 on 09/03/2017 - 10:08

      I didn't have any issue deleting mine. Just signed in, go to my account and delete account. It just said sorry to see me go and may take awhile before all data is erased. But seems like the account is deleted.

  • techhead on 09/03/2017 - 12:59
    +2

    If you are having issues deleting the account, follow the link exa posted ( https://myid.canon/canonid/#/delete-account ) log-in and then re-visit that link again and it will take you to the account deletion page.

    I got thw same email also. My last two expensive Canon compact cameras both had notable dust in lens problems and now this backflip has caused me to lose total confidence with Canon. They should have just admitted they stuffed up and at least offered a small extra.
