Smart Picture Frame

    I know this has maybe been done before but I am wondering.



    So my plan is, share an electronic picture frame around family, then create account which people can upload photos and then they are on a constant loop in everyone house. I have TB's of photos all sitting in cloud and never look at any of them


    I had the idea before but didnt think the technology was available, I bought Echo Show and just seen I can use it with Amazon photo. The Echo will then scroll through the photos. I can set up firestick etc to do the same on TV Maybe a little expensive so just wondering do other companies do similar?



    Any ideas? Thanks

    So similar the amazon setup? You create a cloud account and put the photos into it?

    Did this 10+ years ago with a Kodak branded digital frame we bought for our mother. They had their own online service (probably long gone), or you could use Flickr (and others that I can't remember). We were able to all share photos to it.

    Pretty much, in Google photos I created a pics for display shared album and added my family members. We all add pics. This album is then set on my Google home display as screensaver. We upload new pics and they start to appear instantly

    I've taken an extremely lazy approach. I save all my photos to Google photos as a backup. I have an auto album set up that all pictures of my kids go to, and I have it shared with my mother. She gets a notification on her phone whenever there's a new pic of her grandkids in the album.

    This is what I currently have with Box but it doesnt really work


    What I have done so far, I am using Prime anyway but I get unlimited pictures with Prime. Put everything up on this.



    I have Echo 5 and tried it on that, works perfect. So I ordered Echo 8 for myself. Will test it and see.
