Does it show pictures from a flash drive?

William, I'll check on that tomorrow when I'm back at the office. If I forget, just post here again and I should be notified - otherwise shoot me an email. AEB35.75@gmail.com. Regardless, its a great unit - perfect for an additional monitor and very easy to toggle between the TV and external monitor functionalities. Only complaint is the sound is slightly subpar - I'll try to address your question tomorrow, like I said. Cheers!

No, you can use a USB cord to attach the picture frame to your computer and download photos to the frame's memory similar to attaching a memory card to your computer. When you put the card in, it will show those pictures, but you can change the settings and use the menu button on the frame to change to view the menu, etc...

Not really. It reads usb drive. Maybe that's what's sort of smart about it.

No it does not. It was kind of a pain to find one since the hole is so small, but it is worth having. I've had two flash drives break from falls and this one doesn't stick out of the computer enough to break.

Yes, there is a USB port on the unit, however I was not able to get the unit to recognize the flash drive was present. I ended up using a memory card. I had also hoped to have two or three slideshows on the flash drive and be able to show whichever one I selected. No go! It seems to only see one slideshow and play only that one. Directly connecting a USB cable from my computer to the Digital Frame didn't work either. I have a lot of experience in such things, but I felt like an idiot trying different things to accomplish a simple task.

No, I am afraid it does not. I just keep mine on my computer. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Sure. When you connect the frame to your computer, it shows up similar to a flash drive. You can copy photos to it, and copy photos off of it.

I used a flash drive to display pictures. You can download pictures from your laptop to the flash drive. I haven't used the SD card to display pictures yet, not sure how you would download pictures to a SD card.

Yes, I have used the rear USB port to play MP3 files and display will show file names. Very cool feature making the unit more useful.

It has some limited memory, but I have not figured out how to move the pictures over, so I just leave the flash drive in. I have had a lot of trouble with this frame and do not recommend it.

If you can get pics on a flash drive, just plug it in and play. I'm sure I could learn to customize the presentation, but it is easy to take care of the basic program.

If you are referring to a USB thumb drive, the answer is it has a USB port. I have not yet had the need to use that yet. When you connect to your iPad it directly links to Photos. Hope that is helpful.

for any phone/tablet, NO. It purely depends on the device actually. OTG (on the go) hardware and drivers should be there in the device for it to access this flash drive or any storage device via the usb port. If it does support, then file explorer will work. To check if your device does support, i think there is an app in android called USB OTG checker or something like that. If the device is not running android and there is no app, buy a cheap OTG cable, plug in your portable hard disk and see if it reads. although, be careful with the OTG cables as they can easily damage the device's usb port.

Not sure. I'm pretty sure it doesnt take a flash drive. I bought for someone and had to give them one I bought for my house because of the exact same issue. It cut off our pictures quote a bit so larger photos with bigger MB will get cut off. I'd buy a different one to be honest.

You have to purchase your own USB drive and it plugs into the back. To give you an idea about how many pictures a USB drive holds, I had a 2GB one lying around the house, and it held about 70 pictures. You can buy one with even bigger memory to hold more, they're fairly inexpensive.

Yes, I can copy my images from my PC to a flash drive, and then connect the flash drive to my Homesync, and copy them directly to the Images folder, and view them from my Homesync and mobile..

USB, it will start a slide show of all your pics as soon as you plug it in, then tell it to save what ever pic off the slide show, so plan ahead. It can take a while for it to loop back around to the right pic if you miss it.
