Canon has launched its own cloud storage platform called Irista

Canon has quietly launched a new online photo storage and sharing service that is free for anyone to use worldwide. Called Irista, the new photo service offers a free option that includes 10GB of cloud storage with no limits on the number or size of your file uploads. Irista also offers paid options for extra storage, but currently that option is available only in Europe. Canon began developing Irista in 2012 under the name “Project1709.” Irista is very bare bones compared to other services such as Dropbox, Flickr, or OneDrive. It is also exclusively a photo storage site with no options to save other types of files.
