If you want to make sure that the photos have uploaded to Facebook, you can turn on notifications and get an email or text message when the files have uploaded. This means that you can snap away and all pictures will go to your computer, but if you mark a photo as protected, the file will be uploaded direct to Facebook for easy sharing. We chose to only upload protected pictures to Facebook. Sharingĭuring the setup process, you can choose where you want to share the photos and videos online, and you can control how you share. It’s nice that you can setup standard card to computer uploads to get started and come back later to setup Facebook and sharing options when you are ready. The overall setup is easy and allows you to choose get up and running fairly quickly. Later this year Eye Fi is planning to enable direct mode to send photos straight from the card to your phone. If you have a personal hotspot built into your phone, you can use that as well. We connected the Eye Fi card to the Home WiFi network, our MiFi and enabled using public hotspots so that we could upload in almost any location. Form within the software, you can connect the Eye Fi card to WiFi hotspots and control other settings.

Just put the SD card in your computer like you would with any other card and follow the on screen steps to install the Eye Fi Center software on your computer. When you turn on Endless Memory Mode, the X2 will delete your photos after it confirms that the original has been uploaded to your computer, leaving you with time to shoot, instead of looking for photos to delete.

We eventually turned this off, because HD videos can take a while to upload, but the feature works as advertised.Īnother really killer feature is the ability to turn on Endless Memory Mode which will allow you to keep shooting and shooting without running out of space. The Explore X2 can also upload video files to your computer or to video sharing websites like YouTube. The Explore X2 is also able to automatically include the location you took the photo using GeoCoding and can connect to public hotspots for fast uploads when you stop at the coffee shop for a latte. We have been reviewing the Eye Fi Explore X2 Eye Fi Card which has 8GB of storage with Class 6 write speeds for fast snapping. The Eye Fi Cards come in numerous sizes and capabilities and start at just $50 for the base 4GB Connect X2 model.
