nice one. I've been pestering the mrs to back up her pics for ages and this will do the trick nicely.

​Given the way things are with Yahoo at the moment your Flikr account might not be all that safe long-term.

+ 50GB for the voucher code: IRISTADACH17

Someone posted that code under my deal on the german deal site.
mydealz.de/dea…966

Thanks that one worked

I kind of agree, I have a 2TB MyCloud at home to store most of my photos on then use Google Photos unlimited storage (yes it's lower quality but a lower quality backup is better than no photo at all) to to backup JPEG, I keep a copy of my RAW files on Amazon Cloud Drive (they count as photos included in the unlimited storage with Prime) and then Flickr for my High Quality JPEGs.

Plus I've got OneDrive too although rarely use it. With all the extra codes bringing it up to over 280GB though, I might consider it.

Try this one worked for me IRISTAXATAKA

Don't forget using IRISTADACH17 to get an additional shot of 50 GB :grin:

that also worked many thanks

IRISTADACH17 and IRISTAXATAKA each will give you 50GB :smile:

Some users from the german deal site, just said the other vouchers aren't working either. So I guess Canon disabled all the codes.

None of the codes working now

Excellent find. A couple of the 50GB codes are no longer working but very happy to get 230GB of extra storage I didn't have 5 minutes ago. Thanks OP.

A couple of alternatives to look at

Allows importing from Flickr, Instagram etc

20 Uploads a week on the free plan.

They can go through your stuff pretty much to see if you're complying with copyright and they can sell your pictures. Nothing is free.

Canon will only use your Materials for the purpose of providing you with the irista Services. To do this, you grant Canon and those we may work with a free, non-exclusive, worldwide, sub-licensable right to do everything necessary to provide the irista Services, including (without limitation) to use, publish, reproduce, host and store your Materials

Any codes still working? Just tried them all and none of them work at all for me

thanks op! IRISTARETAIL and IRISTATEAM seem to be expired now though. popped up saying they were finished. still...180gb for nothing, not bad!

sadly non worked for me either

Some more codes I found
(+50GB) IRISTADACH17
(+50GB) IRISTA4FRANCE

I have tried the following but they have not worked
- IRISTATEAM +50 GB
- IRISTARETAIL +50 GB

None of the codes worked for me when I just tried

Some codes are expired, but I've got 180GB happy enough

Thanks! Looks like all the codes have expired now, but still 15gb for nowt isn't bad at all :smile:

Hmm, that's a bit of a worry, I don't think I'll be using this then - I mainly wanted it to back up my RAW files from my upcoming trip. Depending how things go I'd like to try and use upload some of the images to some stock photography sites, so the idea that Canon will have the option to use them free of charge isn't an appealing one. This isn't going to be an issue for many people but it looks like a deal breaker for me.



What firmware are you running? I picked up a few of these when Asda was selling them off for £30. I sold a couple and finally decided to try out one. I updated the firmware and then read that with that firmware "upgrade" they removed the option to shut it down from the dashboard! I've set it up on my folks wifi so I can access it when I'm travelling but I'd rather it wasn't on all the time as my Father has a habit of turning everything off at the plug! I was wanting to keep it turned off until I need to access it, and then just send get in touch and have them boot it up. I've only had it running for a few days so I'll have to look into the SSH stuff. Shame about Canon giving themselves full access to your images through this app as it was going to be my main alternative cloud backup.

not a single code worked for me either unfortunately, but 15gb is a start at least, it's a pity... just gonna have 2 keep look out for new codes!!
thanks OP heat added.. not ur fault canon expired codes quickly!!

Be prepared to see your face on billboards, cereal packets, pints of milk, Dogfood etc... You are giving them permission to use all your photos fro free

​think they may have been overloaded with everyone signing up and using all the codes, think it is much same as others, service itself pretty simple & once up and running will be fine.

Or as they summarise themselves..

In order for us to provide you irista, you provide us the right to use your pictures. But your photos are always your property and Canon has no rights to use them outside of delivering irista to you. If you ever want to leave irista, our rights to use your photos is ended.

codes no longer working it seems

those wondering about when the storage may expire

I'm glad I hit this when I did!.

I'd normally wait 1 or 2+ days first, AFTER the event?!, then .....

Just as well?.

Any idea how well integrated this is compared to Google Photos? I love the fact that I can take a photo on my phone and it is instantly backed up to my Google Photos, no hassle. I don't want to have to go through all of my collections and upload them.

And to those worried about Canon using your photos, you're getting ~300GB storage for free, there has to be some way of recuperating that cost :wink:

Got on this earlier in the day, and two of the codes were already used up but the others worked. I doubt anybody hit the end button on these, they're probably set up to expire after X times used (eg: first 200ppl)

Thanks op for this
does anyone know how long do you get the free space for
Their subscriptions are monthly??

Following codes did NOT work from 06/03/2017 20:00PM:

- irista4france
- iristawom +15 GB
- IRISTARETAIL +50 GB
- iristagift +50 GB
- irista2016 +50 GB
- IRISTATEAM +50 GB
- IRISTADACH17
- IRISTAXATAKA

Thank you answered my question

As posts above show, I think this one should be expired by now. Was good for those who got it before lunch time. Thanks again to the OP and those who provided codes. Started to upload a bit this evening, all good so far.

Thanks. I got in fairly early, so used all original codes....

* irista4france +50GB
* iristawom +15 GB
* IRISTARETAIL +50 GB
* iristagift +50 GB
* irista2016 +50 GB
* IRISTATEAM +50 GB

Plus the new one you mention...

* IRISTADACH17

...and now have 330GB.

Didnt work for me :disappointed:

Very cool, thanks.

T&C's contradict that in another part :
2.3 Files and other content

2.3.1 Files

This category includes images that you upload to Canon Services, and their relevant descriptions and metadata. We hold no rights over the content you upload to our Services unless you expressly grant them to Canon, but you authorize us to use this information for the following purposes:

To improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services:
With computer vision and analysis of photo metadata, we can help you more easily organize and enjoy your collection of photos on our online photo storage services.
We do not conduct any human/manual processing of your content.
To provide customers with more useful information, more relevant content and offers, and latest news about products and events:
Understanding the type of photos you like to take means we can provide you with more personalized and helpful information, such as expert hints and tips, learning resources, or details about relevant training courses.

IRISTATEAM and IRISTARETAIL are no longer valid but all other codes worked. Great Stuff, thank OP :sunglasses:

Website now having issues - temperamental at best?

I'm on 2.21.126 I've never turned it off, the Drive inside powers down when not in use so it's not too bad, although mine is almost always in use serving media to the Android TV in the living room.

Lovely, 330GB of storage, I do use Google Photo's but you can never have too much free cloud storage!

Managed to create an account but website very temperamental and now will not allow a login. Didn't get a chance to apply any voucher codes :disappointed: . Guessing too many HUKD'rs hitting the website!

Can't sign in either with the app or on the website. I'd be happy with just the basic 15gb so long as it actually works.
Finally managed to get in.

Same here, have the app installed and already have an account but it won't let me log in to add the free storage. "There's been a problem. Sorry, our website is currently experiencing some difficulties. Please try again later."

I could only get IRISTADACH17 to work.

Finally managed to log in to my account. The only code that I could get to work was IRISTADACH17 which gave an extra 50Gb.

Wondering whether this would be a good alternative to Flickr (looking to leave Flickr given Yahoo's alarming security record).

Same for me

registered account successfully and verified, but can't sign-in from either the app or the computer. keeps saying "Sorry, our website is currently experiencing some difficulties." wondering if worth using crapware so unstable :disappointed:

Yep, looks like they've shut the others down. Any chance others might turn up?

That said, the terms quoted above are more than a little worrying...

Thankfully I have not started to upload any photos after reading the terms above, don't think I will use them.

Not sure I understand the distaste for the permissions as detailed in the T&Cs.

They seem pretty normal for this type of service.

They expect you to grant them the right to do stuff in order to entice you to use their service, buy more of their service, or buy products or services from third parties that integrate with their service (eg photobooks). They need your permission to use your data (your photos) in that way. This is all aimed at finding ways to package back to *you* your own images. Not sure how you would expect to use a free service which includes gizmos (eg probably some level of auto-organisation or red-eye processing or the like) without granting them permission to do so.

They don't claim image rights over your images. "In order for us to provide you irista, you provide us the right to use your pictures. But your photos are always your property and Canon has no rights to use them outside of delivering irista to you."

Makes sense and reassuring what you said.

must have just missed out as codes not working

I did wonder if they were pretty standard as many of these things are.

Only code left working is IRISTADACH17

Lol I had 330gb only have 60 now

Oh. I can still see 330GB on mine, just coming up to 24hrs before I opened the account - will keep an eye on it!

If they remove the vouchers I can see A LOT of new users vanishing! What are they losing by having a few people that otherwise wouldn't have bothered with their app making use of a glitch? I'm still undecided as to whether I'll take it on or not, but if they remove the freebies I got yesterday then that'll make my decision for me!

Storage removed from my account as well.

Curious if anyone has already filled theirs (there's got to be someone X)) what'll happen.

Did you receive any message, or just notice the decrease?

Mine is still showing 330GB, maybe they are going through new subscriptions and checking.

200gb gone for me too

Still got mine. Let's wait and see....

Yeah all mine has gone too! That's a bit pants! Seems a bit unfair? I get it but still. Cancel them that's fine... but to remove the ones that were already successfully applied. I still had photos uploading, I'll definitely be deleting my account to be honest. No longer enough room to back everything up. It wouldn't have hurt them to allow us to keep it really! Not like we're likely to now go pay.

Yep mine now gone as well, so account deleted.

created four accounts and all had 300 gb all of them now reduced to 15 gb deleting accounts now

lol no wonder they deleting em all that was abit greedy.....more like taking the pi$$ lol

Yep, that's the problem with HUKD in a nutshell; it's one of the best ways to find out about deals but that means a lot of the deals end up like this.

Still have 280gb

Belated thanks - I signed up to unlimited some time ago and jumped at this post since Canon recently capped me at 15GB when they introduced the price plans. I wasn't quick enough to get all the codes but took my account up to a very heathy 200GB+
Very Happy Bunny :smile:

Had 280gb last week, now at 15gb. They removed it all

Not sure how, but I'm still on 330gb...

I'm still on 330GB.
