Well, maybe a little amount of pics loading on demands would be answer.
My last MMM-GooglePhotos loads only one photo from Google Photos when it is needed.

Where MMM-ImageSlideshow is concerned, if your config entry looks like this . . .

{
            disabled: f,
            module: 'MMM-ImageSlideshow',
            position: 'middle_center',
            config: {
                imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-ImageSlideshow/images'],
                slideshowSpeed: 10000,
                fixedImageWidth: 800,
                randomizeImageOrder: true,
            }
        },

… then your image files belong in this directory

modules/MMM-ImageSlideshow/images

For folders outside the MagicMirror directory tree, I use a link ( ln command) to my Nas server share

The image showing modules are using the built-in web server for file access, and it’s root is ~/MagicMirror. And cannot see outside that folder tree.
