Aura offers you a variety of different ways to upload photos from a computer to your frame:
- Using the Web Uploader
- Using the Google Photos integration
- Using Apple iCloud
We don't offer NAS, Onedrive, Shutterfly, or Google Drive integrations.
| Currently, videos cannot be uploaded via the Web Uploader or Google Photos. Please use the Aura Frames app for video uploads. |
1) Adding Photos via the Web Uploader
You can use Aura's Web Uploader to upload photos from your computer to a frame that you either own or that you have been invited to.
|
NOTE: The Web Uploader is NOT designed to replace the Aura app,
If you'd like to review your photos on a larger screen before uploading, you can use your device’s built-in Photos app or a computer to view them full screen before selecting them in Aura. |
Please visit http://app.auraframes.com/ and enter your Aura Account email address and password to log into your account. If you do not have an account yet, you can click on "register here" to set it up:
You will now be able to access any frames that you own - or have been invited to - and add new photos from your desktop/computer. While you can select all photos from within a photo album, you will need the Aura app in order to sync the entire photo album with your frame (= automatically displaying any new photos that are added to the album).
| Note: the web uploader has an image size limit of 9.5MB. Please resize any larger images in order to upload them to your frame. |
2) Using Google Photos
Aura's Google Photos integration allows you to sync photo albums stored in Google Photos directly to your frame(s). While the initial sync needs to be done on the Aura App, you can then use the Google Photos website to add and remove photos to these albums, and those changes will be automatically reflected on your frame.
For more details, see Using Google Photos with Aura.
3) Using Apple’s iCloud (iPhone / iPad required)
Similar to Google Photos, Apple’s free iCloud service allows your different devices (phone, tablet, desktop computer) to upload selected photos to Apple’s secure cloud storage.
Once you activate “Photo Syncing” in your iPhone or iPad iCloud settings, you will see all your photos - including those on your computer - in your photo library. Using the Aura app’s “Add photos” option, you will now be able to see and select the synced photos from your computer to send them to your frame(s).
| Note: If you need more help with your individual iCloud setup, please contact Apple Support directly or read Apple’s iCloud support article. |
