There is no way to do this as it only works to a phone but would anyone like to see such a feature in the future? I sometimes will transfer pics from Mr. Powershot to IPhone but in a way I’d like to see this feature work with the Mac and the photos app.
Got a tip for us?

WIFI Photos from Canon to Mac

if you can send them to your phone, you can probably send them to your computer, although you might have to subsequently import them into Photos (I don't use Photos, so not sure how that works).
Can you not do it the same way as this:
Just checked and there is a MacOS version of image transfer utility for your SX740HS (think that is yours right?).
Also, 1 search.... thats all it took on Google. 1 minute to get to the solution. Come on mate not being nasty, but put some effort into it.

What I want is impossible to do. I want to WIFI images directly into photos from Powershot. Not possible.
Yes it is, you send them straight to your phone and let it sync them into photos from iCloud.
OR, get an eyefi card that sends them immediately upon capture.
Transfer them to a location on your Mac then have an automation flow that gets photos to import them for you if you don’t want to do it manually.
Use an automation flow to do it. Automate it once, then it will do it for you
Automator User Guide for Mac
Learn how to use Automator on your Mac to automate much of what you do on your computer.

They are like macros but at the operating system level. They save loads of time for tasks you do over and over once you get your head round them
A separate library is irrelevant. Use Automator to trigger a sync of that folder and copy new images in there OR, store them in some arbitrary location and get the Automator to tell photos to import, copy while doing it to the Powershot folder.
I just watched through that video… wouldn’t it be faster or more convenient to just plug the SD Card into a reader or use a USB cable from the camera to transfer? That looks like a hassle (like most standalone cameras with the wireless transfer feature).
Yup… also the wifi connections typically send a reduced resolution version intended for web sharing.
This subject sounds familiar, and least the part relating to using USB cables versus Wi-Fi:

There is another thread about transferring photos via USB cables and Wi-Fi, but I decided not to post the link, since I plan not to get involved in numerous discussions relating to the same subject.

Is a card reader really necessary?
Many in this board think that a card reader is just as good as bread and butter in photography and do not take you seriously if you choose to use a USB cable instead. I am gonna argue that they are wrong. Apple does not think a card reader is entirely necessary as their latest iMac just released...

Are you simply asking if other people with Canon P&S cameras like yours want Canon to implement a feature, or are you asking how to solve a problem? It’s not clear what your goal is here. If the latter, a lot of great suggestions have been given. If you can be more clear, perhaps we can help.

Sure, but if you want fast transfer speeds use a card reader.
SD Card reader costs $8-$15 on Amazon. Keep one at home and one in the laptop bag. Simple solution!
Me too. But that is unrelated to this thread.
