I have been using Eyefi SD cards for some years, I don't know how I missed it but Eyefi sold out to Toshiba last July.
Their Android app is now called "Keenai", have any UHH Eyefi card members had any problems with this app yet.
You can now use Toshiba flashair cards in the app so if you happen to have one of these cards you're in luck ??
Personally I think Toshiba Flashair are useless except for storage.

Didn't know this, I have 2 of the Eyefi cards, but seldom use them.

Looking back, I see that I installed the Keenai app on my computer back in November. I don't like too many changes. Moving from the original Eye-Fi to Mobi made users choose one or the other, since they were incompatible. My Mobi cards have been sending pictures to my computer. This is such a convenient process that I'm surprised it hasn't become standard on all cameras - the ability to send your images directly to the computer.

Jerry, the Nikon D7200, D500 and D5 (other cameras in Nikon I am not sure of) can do this.

They have Wi-Fi, but can they send images to the computer? I thought they sent them to a cell phone.

EDIT: From Nikon -

"Select Nikon DSLRs along with many COOLPIX compact digital cameras and some Nikon 1 models have Wi-Fi® built-in. Now, using any of these cameras, you can seamlessly transfer images from your Wi-Fi camera to your compatible smartphone or tablet± for easy sharing via email, text or uploading to an image sharing site. And a great feature of Nikon cameras that feature Wi-Fi connectability is that you don't need to be at a Wi-Fi hotspot. The camera and your smart device create the connection."

It might depend on your computer, I have an iMac for photography and can get the photos from the camera to the computer.
