Sharing photos from iCloud
iCloud photo sharing allows for the creation of "web albums":
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202786
Since Pix-Star frames are able to access photos from web albums, an album shared with Apple Photos and the "publish to website" option turned on should be able to be read by the frame.
1 voteNo it is not working with iCloud, there is no way to access pictures thee if you are not from Apple or and Apple device.

wallpaper
if there was an option, similar to motion sensor, but instead of a black screen have a chosen picture as a wallpaper/background option, so now it at least looks like a picture frame, it there is no movement. With that have the option to go power off and on at certain times, at night or away.
1 voteThe motion sensor is used to turn off the screen and put the device into sleep mode to save energy so there is no way to display a picture or wallpaper when in this state.

Search Button
It would be great if when uploading pictures from an external source, such as Shutterfly, that I could type in the title of the album to locate it instead of having to scroll through all my albums. Or, put the albums in alphabetical order to locate it faster.

As said in the other reply to your other suggestion, after you turn on the device, once the main menu shows up, if you don’t touch anything after 20 seconds the slide show already starts up automatically.
So there is nothing to do for the user here.

can't find the e mail address to ask you a question as the form is not prepopulated with it!
Perhaps you can help anyway. What else do I need to be able to load photos onto the Pix-Star FotoConnect? Memory sticks? SiIMS cards?
Thanks

1 votehello,
you can just send pictures by email to the frame, make sure the frame is connected to your wifi network.
if you prefer you can also use a SD card and from the file manager of the frame you can copy pictures onto it.
for further question send us an email to
info@pix-star..com
our customer support Team will help you.

FUTURE PRODUCT IDEA - ADD HIDDEN SECURITY CAMERA INTO PICTURE FRAME
These days everyone is installing security cameras throughout their house like (Nest cam, drop cam, netgear cam, etc).
Could you integrate a HD (1080p) security camera into your device that could record pictures or a short video when motion is detected and store them to a USB/SD card inserted into the picture frame.
These could also be uploaded to pixstar's website and be another way to generate income for Pixstar. (like a subscription service).
Otherwise pics/videos would be stored to designated SD/USB device and be overwritten when the designated amount of space is full (oldest deleted first).

We put here the name of the folder to indicate where the picture is located, in the case of a web album then we indicate “web album” for the user to know from where the pictures comes from.
So we prefer to keep this to help users find the origin of their pictures.

Reduced access permissions for cloud providers
The level of permission that your application requests for services like Dropbox is overly broad in nature. This makes it unusable for me as an integration.
If you could update your integration to Dropbox and request a single folder...
"App folder – Access to a single folder created specifically for your app."
... then I could move whatever photos I want into that folder.
Just as a heads up, by taking on such a permissive integration model, you're opening yourself up to a much bigger security risk.
1 voteunfortunately we’ve review this with dropbox and it is not possible to access the album and pictures at dropbox without requesting this permission.
This is because Dropbox does not offer a granularity of it’s permission that would allow something like “read only” or just for some albums.
This is unfortunate but it is the way dropbox API works right now.
