Description
Just sit back and watch your photos with your family; convert your old Android tablet to a digital photo frame; browse your cloud photos, hassle-free. No-fluff and no bloat; old-school app which is simple to use and just works.
Able to retrieve and slideshow photos from the following sources: - OwnCloud/NextCloud server, even with self-signed https certificate - Dropbox - Local Gallery - Flickr - Microsoft OneDrive - Windows Shares (Samba) - Mega - Instagram (Instagram removed the Feed API thus only the Recent Media is accessible) - SSH and SFTP - DLNA/UPNP - Box - Google Drive - Google Photos (Picasa) - iCloud Public Share
Respects user's privacy: PhotoCloud is the only Android Digital Frame application which supports your own personal OwnCloud/NextCloud servers (including self-signed https certificates), your own SSH+SFTP servers, photos located on your Windows machines, etc.
Endlessly cycles photos from any combination of the streams. You can play all photos from the stream, or you can limit the stream to given list of directories (and subdirs). You can also browse the files of the stream manually. The photos are automatically cached locally; when offline, you can show slideshow from cached photos only. Supports slideshowing photos from subdirectories.
You can stream photos to TVs in the following ways: - ChromeCast Slideshow (requires Android 4.4 and higher) - casts current slideshow to your TV from your mobile phone - Android TV - you can run this app straight on the TV and control it via the TV remote control Also supports Daydream Screensaver Slideshow (Android 4.2 and higher only).
Pricing: free version shows a "please purchase" images once a while during the slideshow. There is an in-app payment which removes these images. Another in-app payment unlocks the Daydream/Screensaver integration.
Please note: This is just a digital frame / photo browser. It does not play any music (only a background one ;), does not create videos, does not replace your gallery app, it does simply one thing - shows a slideshow of your photos - and does it simply and right.
Because of its nature, the application generates a very high network traffic - please make sure you have WIFI enabled. The app has built-in network protection and will abort the Slideshow if WIFI disconnects.
No annoying video commercials, simple to use. This application is at its infancy, please let me know which features would you like me to implement. The following features are planned: 1. Each directory will be able to be configured with a daily hour range at which the directory is polled for photos - you can create a daily gallery, an evening gallery, even a night gallery. 2. Add support for Facebook ...
Required permissions: INTERNET - to download photos from cloud services WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - to workaround a bug in older Androids to cache photos GET_ACCOUNTS - Google Drive and App Billing requires this BILLING - In-app purchases ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - allows PhotoCloud to monitor for WiFi and stop slideshow to avoid cellular network charges RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - to automatically start (if so configured) ACCESS_WIFI_STATE - to discover DLNA devices CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE - to discover DLNA devices WAKE_LOCK - to keep the phone awake during slideshow

Comments on PhotoCloud Frame Slideshow for Android
★★★★★EDWARD BULLER· Sep 30, 2021
Been trying out a few aps for my new android tv. This one has been the best and has all the feature is need. Streams slideshow from multiple folders on NAS and I like the Widget as it can display a folder name which gives some context. I am looking to build this up to a library of maybe a 1000 photos in 4k formats it's a great start. Things I would like to see are Some more slide effects and no doubts a few other things I can imagine install was easy off play, and it worked out of the box unlike many of the other apps I have tried But a great start for my 4k picture frame and a good job. Happily paid the Google play fee. When I understand the joys ot the android dream screensaver I might buy that bit also Cheers Ed

Great cloud photo slide show. I use it for local WD cloud drive. Love the fact it uses cache when drive or network hickups... other apps crashed. Dedicated an old tablet as photo frame. My only gripe is that I paid for screen saver option, when I ment to pay to get rid of nag screen...probably my own fault, but feel it should have been clearer.

There are numerous, huge bugs rendering it unusable. When creating a slide show, it is populated with random photos and not the chosen photos. You can create multiple slide shows, but they all contain random photos not photos of your choice. Finally, you cannot assign a slide show to the screen saver. Great idea but v.poor implementation. I paid full license fees for both products. I hope the developer sorts out the many issues soon or refunds my £7.00

The popup to add files every time is annoying. I only use this for SMB shares and not local file access. You can't scroll forward through images during a slideshow. The slideshow resumes where it was paused. If you scroll back through images while paused, you can't just start the slideshow at that pic. Would be nice to have a recursive option, instead it is always recursive, and I must wildcard exclude subdirectories. It would be nice to sort slideshow by different traits: name, time, size, etc

Downloaded the app to use as a slideshow screensaver for my Android TV. Paid $5 to unlock the slideshow capability only to have it nag me for $5 more to remove the double nag screens every 10 photos. Dishonest and scummy and for that I will try and refund. The slideshow screensaver works fine, although the clock is ugly.

I've been using this app for many years on the NVIDIA shield. I just had to do a hard reset in my shield and the app no longer appears in the play store on the shield
