Do PhotoShare Frames Require Internet?

Our PhotoShare frames require a 2.4ghz Wifi source.

Industry standard for routers is 2.4/5ghz. Most routers will automatically select 2.4ghz. In some cases, 2.4ghz may need to be selected manually to connect to the frame. Please consult your router manual on how to do this.

Who Can Send Photos to PhotoShare Frames?

Frame owners can share their Frame ID or email address with all their family and friends. There is no limit!

As a security feature, the first time someone sends a photo or video to your frame, a pop-up will appear to notify you. You can choose to either accept or decline. Once someone has been accepted, you will not see this notification again. Instead, photos will just arrive seamlessly!

If at any time you wish to revoke someone’s permission, you can do so in the frame’s settings.

How Many Photos Will a PhotoShare Frame Hold?

Each PhotoShare Frame comes with 8GB of internal storage to ensure you have enough space on your frame for all your favorite photos. On average, a frame holds around 5,000 photos, but varies since file sizes vary.

If you find that you need even more space, you can insert an SD card or USB stick into the appropriate port on the back of the frame to move photos/videos to the expandable storage instead, freeing up your frames internal storage. Note that currently, when friends or family send you photos they will always go onto your frames internal storage (not on the USB or SD card).

Do PhotoShare Frames Require a Subscription or Fees to Use?

No! There are no fees or subscriptions to use or send photos to PhotoShare Frames. Even the PhotoShare Frame app is free!

How is a PhotoShare Frame Powered?

PhotoShare Frames need to be plugged in to use and enjoy. Each frame comes with an A/C power adapter and there is a USB port if you prefer to use a USB cord.
