Unlimited photos available because you are only limited by the number of albums Google Photos will let you make, but you can only do a slide show of 500 at a time. Here's why: This works through your Internet network and your Google Photos account. When you use the app for the Lenovo Smart Frame, you enter your Google account email and password. Then, whenever you look on your Lenovo app, it shows you all of your Google Photo Albums. So the best way to make this work is to make albums on Google Photos. Lenovo lets you show up to 5 albums in a Slide Show. Even though Google Photos lets you put up to 27,000 photos in each album, Google will only stream the first 100 photos of each album to other devices, including this frame. So I am making all of my albums with exactly 100 photos or less in each album with up to 5 albums or less per subject matter, and labeled them accordingly. So for example, our trip to Italy has 5 albums and 100 photos in each album. I labeled the albums Italy 01, Italy 02, etc. I also have an album labeled Italy All because it has all of 1250 of my vacation photos from that trip in it. I made sure to arrange the photos in each album so that it didn't matter the order in which the albums appeared. (I didn't have Venice photos at the end of one album and continue with more Venice photos at the beginning of another album because Lenovo shows the albums in random order.) I did notice that Lenovo is making updates to their software that will help make it a better product. For example, the last update lets you either automatically crop your photos or not. It used to crop them automatically which could cut off the tops of people's heads. Now you can turn that off and it shows the entire photo with a nice gausse effect on either side. The next thing I hope they fix in their software update is the limit of 5 albums per slideshow. Also I wish I could choose the order that it shows the albums. They can't fix things that are Google's fault, such as only streaming the first 100 photos of each album.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is no internal storage within the Lenovo Smart Frame. You will synchronize your Google Photos Account via your cellular phone and stream photos within an album you have created within Google Photos. The Smart Frame needs to be connecting to the internet via WiFi and your Google Account for this to work.
