Thanks to everyone who backed this partition. I had hoped for a lot more backers, yet I feel we did make our point. Although Eye-Fi is going to continue to shut down the servers, they have at least provided new software that enables us to continue the cards in direct mode. As I understand it, you need to uninstall your old software and install the new before they switch off the servers. I suggest you do that today. The new software can be found here (updated 2018). http://www.walkersystems.de/eyefi/EyefiX2Utility.exe Good luck and thank-you for backing this campaign, we have at least managed to maintain some functionality. Unfortunately, geo-tagging and online services are gone, but at least your pictures and videos will continue to transfer, locally via WiFi. In case you missed it, this is a message recently sent to us from Eye-Fi. August 31, 2016 To the users of Eye-Fi X2 and Earlier Generation Eye-Fi cards: Last month we announced the “End of Life” (EOL) of a range of products including Eye-Fi Pro X2 and prior products. For details on that announcement please click HERE. There is new information contained in this announcement. Note: Eyefi Mobi and Mobi Pro customers are not impacted by this EOL process. NEW X2 UTILITY NOW AVAILABLE FOR MAC AND WINDOWS This notice is to inform you that Eyefi has completed work on a new desktop software utility – the X2 Utility (X2U) for the PC and Mac – that will permit cards impacted by the EOL to continue operating beyond the deadline of September 15, 2016. As a reminder, after September 15, 2016 Eye-Fi Center desktop software will no longer have the ability to configure Eye-Fi X2 and other cards impacted by the EOL. Customers wishing to use the X2U will have to uninstall Eye-Fi Center from their computer prior to installing the new utility. Once the X2U is installed and activated, cards impacted by the EOL will have ability to continue transferring images to a desktop computer. The X2U is provided to users free of charge as-is and without warranty or helpdesk support. We have published knowledge base documentation on how to set-up and use the X2U. X2 Utility Highlights Support for Pro X2 and all earlier generation products with the “Eye-Fi” branding as well as 3rd party branded cards from SanDisk and Visioneer Activation and set-up of cards to transfer images to a PC or Mac via an infrastructure or direct network connection (your Eye-Fi card must have the ability to do Direct Mode transfers) Transferred images will be saved to a directory of users choosing but will be organized in a date based chronological order Eye-Fi Center software must be un-installed from the PC or Mac prior to installation of the X2U X2U will NOT integrate with Eye-Fi View nor Eyefi Cloud service: it will be limited to desktop transfer only This utility is being provided to allow more time for customers seeking an alternative WiFi SD card solution. It is not intended as a permanent/long-term solution. The X2U will not be adding any new features beyond this one-time release set of capabilities. In order to download the X2U as well as accessing further information on the utility, please click HERE. Regards, The Eyefi Team
