- Buy it on Amazon - lon.tv/nixplay (affiliate link) - Nixplay's Seed is a photo frame that you can control remotely - both in what photos it displays but also how it operates.
This is useful for the less tech savvy in your family who want to see your latest photos without having to do anything. Photos can be loaded in via the web, mobile app, and even by email. They'll automatically download to the frame provided it's connecting to WiFi.

Thanks for covering everything there is to know about this frame!
Very informative. Looks like I will be purchasing this for my wife. Thanks for the Video..
Thanks for the review! Quick question - what happens when the wifi network is down? Is there some kind of internal buffer that would keep playing whatever was downloaded to the frame? Or is it simply unusable once the network is off?
thanks so much for the review! i was thinking about buying this and now i can for sure do it :)
I can wall mount it using suguru !
Thank you... great video.
Thank you!
hey lon, I'm trying to find a detachable laptop that has no fan, and pretty light. has a good amount of GB and ram for some gaming, a good and enjoyable experience, but hates the problem, I want it under 400 dollars, can u help me find one
? about the cloud services. Are all ones photos ones photos or does the service able to grab and sell the content?
Does it download video?
Does it have internal storage?
From your pictures, it seems you are an electrical engineer working for GE ;)
Nice review as usual however, I don't get how Digital photo frames make any sense in 2015...
If they were extremely cheap then alright I could see some value, but for the asking price of $120 why?
Get a crappy ~$50 android tablet, put google drive on it, then either use the slideshow feature in the gallery or if you want more control find a dedicated app and bam you've got a cloud based digital photo frame at half the price and when you're done with it you can use it as an e-reader or w/e, sure the screen may not be as good but still $100+ is a fair bit for just a photo frame.
+bolly wood You don't need to upload stuff to another proprietary "Cloud" platform as you put it unless you want to. The Nixplay Cloud service allows you to connect up your Facebook, Dropbox and a several other 3rd party services allowing you to send that content straight to your Cloud Frame with uploading anything to their service. As an added bonus it even takes care of optimising your large dropbox and other 3rd party photos specifically for the resolution of the Cloud Frame you own saving you both bandwidth and storage.
+vgamesx1. I have little to no interest in photographs, but my non-pc-using husband does. I have tried to upload to 4 different "cloud" systems, but can never find the stuff afterward. The idea of this easy-to-use-cloud where I can immediately see what I have uploaded sounds terrific to me. Not being all that tech savvy in this area, I am glad somebody is trying to make an easy-to-use digital frame and providing lucid directions for using it to people who didn't grow up in a pc era. Although I've been using a pc since 1994, but I have no idea how to put a "google drive" on a crappy android tablet or how to use, or why I would use, a slideshow feature that exists in some gallery (where is the gallery?). I don't know what a dedicated app is, either. Maybe to people to whom this stuff comes easy find this a waste of money, but maybe you should keep quiet when remarking that anybody can do what you say; I have no idea how to do what you say. I'd be happy to find someone who could teach me how to use half the features on my gamer's laptop. I can do the games., excel, word, quicken, turbo tax, etc, but these photographs are a pain in the whatsis.
BARBARA DANIELS Then maybe the non-techie person shouldn't be given a digital photo frame at all perhaps..?
You made your point but, if said person cannot figure out how to use the stock android apps or anything else for that matter, then it seems even less likely that they are going to all the sudden know how to use a digital photo frame which could very likely have just as much if not even more so of an arse-backwards and convoluted way of putting photos onto it.....
The point is that digital photo frames aren't all that much easier to use, they just don't require much if any setting up in order to use it by comparison to a tablet, so maybe you should keep quiet when remarking that anybody can't do what I say, (that was me mocking you btw for basically saying I shouldn't have an opinion because some people are too lazy or w/e) you know if my parents or whomever can't figure out how to use a tablet I certainly wouldn't suddenly expect them to know how to setup or use a digital photo frame either, as if it were a magical device that shows photos without any thought whatsoever into how it works and it's not as if you have to be tech savvy for the matter in order to understand how a device works, my sister for example is far from a tech person yet she can still figure out how a tablet works...
So that means no one should get one? Come on, that's being a bit of an elitist now isn't it? Plus, the one thing this can do is allow you to share with people you aren't physically close to with a ton of ease. If its going to require me to do something complicated every time, changes are I'm not going to do it. This seems so easy. Its a great way to quickly send pictures of my kids to my parents and in laws and not have to worry about trying to walk them through how to look up facebook. If you think that just because they can't figure out a computer they don't deserve to see my kids...well...simply stay grumpy and we'll continue to gladly pay a little more for a service on top of a great product.
Man, it sucks how none of these digital picture frames can be used as a second screen for stuff like word processing.
Or you could just buy an iPad mini...
Or you can buy an actual photo frame
3x the price :/
