How do I get pictures on to my Kindle Fire?
There are several different ways to get pictures on your Kindle Fire.
Attaching to a computer with USB
Stream pictures from Flick, Facebook, or Instagram
Using the "sync" feature of FireFrame
Attaching to a computer with USB
Using the included USB Cable with your Kindle Fire, you can connect the device to the computer by unplugging the USB end from your charger, plugging it into the computer, and plugging in the other end of the cable into the Kindle Fire. It may take a few minutes, but this will mount the storage of your Kindle Fire on the computer. From there, you can access the Kindle Fire similar to how you would access a USB drive. Albums on the device are subfolders in the Picture directory. Create a new folder in the Picture Directory and copy your photos to the device. They will show up in the default Gallery app as well as be available in FireFrame.
Stream pictures from Flickr, Facebook, or Instagram
One option to save space on your Kindle Fire is to stream your photos directly from Flickr, Facebook, or Instagram. This does require an active internet connection on your Kindle Fire, but the app provides an easy way to view all your photos. FireFrame also supports viewing your Facebook NewsFeed and Instagram Feed so you can also view photos that your friends have posted online.
To setup an online service from the FireFrame Main Menu, click Settings. From there, click Configure Photo Services. Here you will see all the photo services you have configured for use in FireFrame. To add a service click, Add Photo Service. By Selecting the desired service (Flickr, Facebook, or Instagram), a login will pop up allowing you to authorize FireFrame access to your photos in that service. Once authorized, it will return you to the Configure Photo Services Menu. Use the back button to return the options menu. The back button again will return you to the Main Menu. Click Start Slideshow and FireFrame will load photos from the selected service.
Using the "sync" feature of FireFrame
FireFrame includes a little known feature to "sync" your photos from Flickr, Facebook, and Instagram to your Kindle Fire. Don't worry this "sync" is only one way. If you delete a photo from your device, FireFrame does not go and delete it from the online service, so your photos are safe!
From the main menu of FireFrame, click Settings. From there, click Configure Photo Services. Here you will see all the photo services you have configured for use in FireFrame. To add a service click, Add Photo Service. Once the service is added, you can click on the blue link for that service and configure its behavior. Notice the option to sync for any of the configured services. Turn on "sync". The next time you load the slideshow it will copy the photos to the device. Also, if you are disconnected from the internet when launching FireFrame it will show the local copies of your photos from those services making it easy for the Kindle Fire to travel with you.
