Configuration¶

After installation, open the Configuration tab in the Photo Frame Drop add-on. All available options are described below.

Options¶

Type: string
Example: frame

Name of the subfolder inside /media/ where uploaded photos will be stored.
The folder is created automatically on first run.

target_folder: frame

Tip

If you use the Samba or SMB integration, you can browse /media/frame directly from your computer.

Type: string

Password required to log in to the web interface. Use a long, hard-to-guess string.

password: StrongPassword!2024

Note

Use a strong password — the panel is reachable from the internet if you have external access to your HA.

Type: string (comma-separated list)
Default: jpg,jpeg,png,webp

File formats accepted by the server. Files in other formats will be rejected.

allowed_extensions: jpg,jpeg,png,webp,gif

The add-on can send push notifications via Home Assistant in two situations:

Event	Description
✅ New photos	Someone successfully uploaded photos to the frame
⚠️ Failed login	The system detected an unauthorised login attempt

Notifications are configured in the Configuration tab — you can choose your notification service and enable/disable each alert type individually.
