Aura digital frames are beautifully designed WiFi frames that connect people around the world through a brilliant photo sharing experience enabled by Aura’s cloud servers.
How it works:
Download the free Aura frames app and easily sync your camera roll, iCloud, and Google Photos. Set up the frame on your WiFi, and add selected photos. With unlimited storage, you can invite the entire family and friends to share their photos, and never worry about running out of space.
Invite friends and family to safely share their photos in your home without the need to post on social media. When you invite others to join your frame, they also download the Aura frames app and select photos to share on your frame. Since photos are sent from your device to Aura’s safe cloud servers and then down to the shared frame which is always connected to the internet, you can send photos to any frame, even if you are on a different network
