Back in March, we introduced the Eye-Fi Center software, which makes it even easier to back up and share memories. Today we’re announcing lots of fun upgrades and 2 new exciting features: email sharing and Eye-Fi View. And to celebrate these new features, we’re giving away an iPad, a Pro X2 and one year of Eye-Fi Premium… So let’s start the news fest:
RAW uploads to your FTP site
New option: RAW files can now be uploaded to your FTP site if you’re a Pro or Pro X2 user. Back up your photos or make it easy for clients to download full res photos right from your website.
Lifetime upgrades: Online Sharing and Geotagging
Want to upgrade to Online Sharing or Geotagging? Lifetime licenses are now available for purchase right from Eye-Fi Center. Get lifetime Online Sharing for just $19.99 and lifetime Geotagging for just $29.99.
More fun in more places.

Email made easy
No more stuffed inboxes to share vacations photos! Get email sharing the Eye-Fi way. Email sharing is a free upgrade to all Eye-Fi users and allows you to share the content you want with just the friends and family you want to share it with. The best part is, it sends them a link via email and gives them private access to full resolution photos and videos, without a login required, and without clogging your (or their) inbox! See the intro video:
Eye-Fi View. Wherever. Whenever.
Do your photos and videos always seem to be at home when you want to show them or share them? With Eye-Fi View, access your memories from any web connected device.
It’s easy: just enable Eye-Fi View. You’ll then be able to view, share or download photos from the last 7 days wherever internet is available by logging into center.eye.fi with your Eye-Fi credentials. Eye-Fi View is a free upgrade available to all Eye-Fi X2 users.
With Eye-Fi Premium, photos & videos sent directly from your camera to your Eye-Fi View are available for as long as you like. Enjoy unlimited storage and the flexibility to access, share and download your media in full resolution anytime. Share that flexibility with friends as the private collections you send them never expire. Get unlimited access with Eye-Fi Premium for only $4.99/month or $49.99/year.

So how do you get all these great new features?
The following steps are required (you’ll need your card and your computer to complete these steps):
- Update your card firmware.
- Update Eye-Fi Center. Click on the Eye-Fi Helper icon in your tray/menu bar; you’ll see an “Check for Updates” option. Click on it and follow the steps. This will give you the email option!
- Enable Eye-Fi View (available to Eye-Fi X2 users). There you can enable View for free access anywhere to your latest 7 days of uploads. You’ll also have the option to upgrade to Eye-Fi Premium there for just $4.99/month or $49.99/year. With Eye-Fi Premium, your shared links never expire and you’ll have unlimited access to your uploading history.
Once you’ve completed these steps, your subsequent Eye-Fi activity will be available for viewing, sharing and downloading in the original size at http://center.eye.fi, using your Eye-Fi username and password. Read more about Eye-Fi View or browse the FAQ »

You need a comparison page on your site to easily compare the features of each card. This would help people decide which one to purchase.
Hi Russell,
Sorry that you didn’t see the page – it does exist! http://www.eye.fi/products/compare-cards
Eye-Fi view looks promising to an extent I can even delete my flickr or picasa web albums account and just use Eye-Fi View with Eye-Fi Premium. One catch though; what do I do with my existing photos/videos? Eye-Fi View/Premium will only work for new photos on the card right? There is no standalon uploader or export/import from Flickr/Picasa? Am I out of luck?
Hi Tanmay,
You’re right, Eye-Fi Premium is for all the content you upload after you enable it. Feel free to add that idea to our Feature Request Forum though: http://forums.eye.fi
I’m a professional photographer and I shoot with a Canon 5D MK II. I use a lot of off-camera flash with Radio Poppers and sometimes my little 3 inch Canon LCD doesn’t allow me to see how accurate my lighting is and the extent of the shadows on my subjects. I would do anything to be able to view the images instantly on my iPad. I know I can do this by jailbreaking my iPad and using a SD to CF card adapter, but if you guys provided a legitimate way for professional photographer to use Eye Fi in combination with CF cards and the iPad you would make a fortune. I would pay any price.
HI Jennifer,
Eye-Fi does not support SD to CF adapters because of known issues: http://support.eye.fi/product-info/camera-compatibility/compatibility/known-issues-with-compact-flash-card-adapters/
I will relay your comment to our team but the best place for suggestions to be heard is our Feature Request Forum at http://forums.eye.fi
Instant availablity via wifi to any mobile device would benefit anyone not just professionals. I am currently on Vacation with my family in Hong Kong we just went to dinner and some clubs in HK. The ability to share the high resolution photos we took across the 2 iPads and 6 smartphones that we had with us would be fantastic. Everyone wanted to do a 3G update to their Facebook account with one of the Camera pics.
Thanks, John
I was told when I bought the Eye-Fi and the Kodak EasyShare M530 Camera that I could use my Droid WiFi Hotspot app ($20/month) to upload photos from my camera directly to Facebook or Youtube or email, etc. I activate my Hotspot on my Droid and then click the “share” button on my camera (with Eye-Fi card inserted in the camera) The photo or video never makes it to my Facebook account OR my email. Does anyone have ANY idea why? I’m going on vacation next week and I HAVE to figure this out now.
I think this is the best thing since slice bread, WoW I love this card. No more full cards just take vidios and pics and it does the rest for you
