If your digital photo frame features Wi-Fi and cloud connectivity, the key question is how to add your images to its online storage.

Most of these models include some form of free online storage, with many offering the option to purchase extra capacity, while Aura offers unlimited cloud photo storage for no additional fee on frames like the Aura Mason. To transfer photos to one of these frames, you’ll need to upload your chosen images to the cloud.

Instead, most modern frames sync with slideshows stored in the cloud via a Wi-Fi connection. Many contemporary digital photo frames do not feature any physical ports. Most frames with a USB port will have file browsing software, enabling you to scroll through folders and images stored on the flash drive.Īgain, it’s worth confirming which image formats are supported – and you might need to reformat the flash drive before the digital photo frame will recognize it. Images will usually load automatically, though you might have to manually select the drive as a source on certain frames. Transferring photos is as simple as plugging the flash drive into a computer and copying over your chosen images, before ejecting it and inserting it into the frame. This allows you to display photos stored on a USB flash drive. A number of older and more affordable digital photo frames also feature a USB port.
