Please feel free to ask questions - the set up is a bit involved but at least, once it is going, it all works Hopefully DropBox and IFTTT will not shit on my solution anytime soon :-) So I'm happy - I hope you are happy too and deep thanks to those key people and orgs that made this solution possible.
#Mobi eye fi upgrade#
Note that the free version of DropSync limits upload syncs to 10MB - that's fine for most of my pics but it's not enough for big pics especially RAW - you will need to either find a different sync app or upgrade DropSync to the full version. There are other Sync apps - for example to sync with Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. You can of course use a different app to DropSync - but it's free and works well. MoPhotos only uses your phones GPS (if it is turned on and has a current location fix). Why that way? I have no idea but it was flaky as hell - i've taken pictures in Asia that, thanks to Eye-Fi, has their EXIF location set to some city in Eastern Europe - presumably where the wi-fi router i was near was made or configured. It then looked up the wireless stations for the location info and used that first otherwise it used the GPS info if available. With the Eye-Fi system it sent wireless station info and GPS info to the Eye-Fi servers. Note that the Geo-tagging of MoPhotos is superior to that of Eye-Fi. If it's all working properly the MoPhotos app will find the Eye-Fi card on the phone's Wi-Fi network and start transfering the pics to your phone then DropSync will transfer to DropBox then IFTTT will transfer to your designated final destination. When you want to use it away from your home wi-fi network follow these steps: When you want to use it at home (assuming your home wi-fi network has already been added to the Eye-Fi card using Eye-Fi Center): If you don't already have an IFTTT account create one and add a new recipe to transfer from your DropBox folder to wherever you want it to appear - in my case Flickr.Test it - Pictures you take should now turn up in your DropBox folder automagically. Start DropSync and configure it to sync the MoPhotos folder with the DropBox folder.Start MoPhotos and enter the Upload Key and nominate the folder to deposit the pictures to.It's to be used just as a buffer - you can clean it out as often as you wish

Install DropSync on your Android device.Install MoPhotos on your Android device.If you don't it will get in the way and prevent syncing whenever you are near your computer. Uninstall or disable the Eye-Fi X2 utility if it's installed on your PC (Note: not Eye-Fi Center app).(Mine was in AppData\Roaming\Eye-FiX2\Settings.xml) Close, remove the card, re-insert it into your camera (caution see Rob Tesnear's comment below).Start Eye-Fi Center software and add the wi-fi hot spot from 1 to the card's networks (thank providence that still works!).Insert your X2 into the Eye-Fi SD USB holder and insert into PC.Set your phone/tablet to be a wi-fi hotspot - ie enable wi-fi tethering - ie sharing your mobile link via wi-fi.

There is also a Pro version that makes syncing easier but this post is about how I achieved syncing for my needs with just the basic app.

I found a petition and signed it: Keep Eye-Fi X2 WiFi cards active for 10 more years and just a few days ago Peter Walker added this to the site: Replacement App for Android Users. It has to be all hands-free: click->everywhere and preferably it has to be done without having to write new code. I hunted around on the internet for a few weeks but there was nothing I could find to help - even buying cards from other vendors did not seem to offer what I needed.

After the uproar that followed they released an app for Mac and Windows that allowed some rudimentary functionality - sync between your Eye-Fi card and your PC - but that was hardly of any use to those like myself who use the camera outdoors, especially while traveling, to automatically keep a photo record of life. They claimed that direct mode would still work but of course it did not - effectively turning my expensive X2 card into a brick. Then the people at Eye-Fi shat on their X2 customer base by ending support for the card. (2018 - bye bye Flickr, auto transfer to FB, Tumblr and most of the cloud storage - only Google really remains. I loved my Eye-Fi X2 Pro card - absolutely - my pics went magically to Flickr and then to Facebook, Tumblr and some cloud storage via IFTTT.
