RE: Which digital photo frame



I've just had a look at my settings, and cannot see a way to do that. 
However, for this frame, the Kodak software does support that feature. 
I've not used it, but that's really it's main purpose.

Is it able to be pointed at a network folder and just pull images from
there
rather than a web-based photo album?
