Various embodiments of the present technology involve the configuration of a wireless-enabled memory card. For example, a client application associated with a content management system (CMS) can obtain a computing device's current wireless configuration information, request a temporary authentication token from the CMS, encode this information in a visual code, and display this visual code on a display screen of the computing device. A user can capture an image of the visual code with a camera, thereby, causing the memory card to extract the wireless configuration information and token from the image, and connect to the specified wireless network. Once connected, the temporary authentication token is exchanged for an access token allowing the memory card to automatically send images captured by the camera to an account with the CMS for storage.
