@Sean You are correct about ARM architecture, didn’t do my research properly. I did a quick search and it seems like a hazzle indeed. This seems to be a kind of solution, http://mitchtech.net/dropbox-on-raspberry-pi-via-sshfs/
Maybe this could be another solution. But it still needs ‘REMOTE HOST’ server. anyway, I have a NAS in my house, so I could use this.
I agree about the space but if you have a decent sdcard, like 32gb you can store plenty of photo’s and change them once in a while. I have set up a shared directory with samba to the photo directory directly. I just put my photo’s in here and restart the pi.
Yes. It could be so.
Would be nice if google photo’s introduces an api, I use it for photo backup at the moment.
We both agree this could be the ultimate final solution.
Anyway, last weekends, I tried to test Dropbox API. I think I can make Dropbox Wallpaper module in a few days. But that could be for just a shallow nitch purpose. Usually, using local storage is the better way. However, for my family and @nobita, It could be alternates. I’ll leave mention about that in my module.
