Did you know it only takes minutes to sync your Google Photos albums to an Aura frame?
For many people, Google Photos is where their favorite photos and videos live. That’s why Aura has partnered with Google to make it easier than ever to bring your most meaningful memories into everyday life.
With our updated Google Photos integration, you can add photos directly from the Google Photos app or sync an entire Google Photos album to automatically update Aura frames as new photos are added. Photos display effortlessly on your Aura frame, continuously and automatically, without the need for manual uploads.
In addition to Google Photos, you can easily add photos from the Aura app, iCloud Photos, email, via the web-uploader, and also by texting photos directly to an Aura frame.
How to connect Google Photos to your Aura frame
In a few simple steps, you can connect your Google Photos library to your Aura frame and start displaying entire albums, shared folders, or curated selections in real time. Here’s how to get started:
Open the Aura app and select your frame
Tap “Add Photos”
Scroll to Google Photos and tap “Connect”
Sign in to your Google account and grant access
Select the albums you want to sync
Your selected albums will appear on the frame, and new photos will be added automatically as your Google Photos library updates.
What happens after you connect to Google Photos
The real value of this integration is what it enables: effortless connection. Families already use Google Photos to share memories. Parents upload daily snapshots, and siblings contribute to shared albums, especially after a vacation or major event. Aura extends that experience into the home, turning passive storage into an active and ambient presence.
Preload an Aura Frame with Google Photos for a more meaningful gift
Instead of starting from scratch, you can preload a frame using existing Google Photos albums and instantly fill it with years of shared memories. After gifting, contributors can continue adding to those albums, and the frame will update automatically. The result: a gift that evolves over time, without requiring the recipient to manage anything.
We believe the best technology is the kind you don’t have to think about. By connecting your Aura frame to Google Photos, your memories will sync quietly in the background and become part of your everyday environment—exactly where they belong.
