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!

And there is no other way to access the camera from your phone? Cant you just mount it as a storage medium over USB? Or if all else fails just use a USBC card reader dongle...

It's more than just file transfer, unfortunately.

If you want to control your camera through the app, or geotag photos... you now have to use an account that connects to Canon (and probably 1001 "partners").

Well then the title is just misleading i guess. If you need an app for extra features, they will harvest your data anyways even without an account. Unless the app was working without internet access before. The mistake is buying a camera that requires an app that isnt using an open protocol and expecting Canon not to make use of their software lock in thumb screws. In a year they will want a monhtly subscription fee for you to use the app.

It was.

To ge fair, these cameras were purchased before the Golden Age of Enshittification.

As hardware features like built-in GPS were offloaded to apps, choices became slim.

Its somewhat unavoidable with some things, i have to admit.

Is it this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.canon.ic.cameraconnect
Im sure this can be reverse engineered relatively easily if it connects over WiFi, because you can just sniff all the traffic quite easily.

I hope you havent installed any firmware updates recently, because they will surely try to prevent people from doing so and actively work to break existing 3rd party apps or older official app versions.

Edit: Nvm i saw you managed to downgrade the app.
