Hello! Do you have a remote estimate of the amount of photos you're planning to include in the slideshow? I would have personally used an s3 cloud solution for something like this. AWS, as far as I know, has a free tier which is limited to 5gb, but even if you exceed that, the prices are pretty liberal, especially for smaller applications and you only pay for what you actually use (storage + request) so I advise you to atleast have a look. You can get an estimate of what you'll pay here. P.S. I am not a native speaker, so sorry for bad grammar :)

Thank you for replying ๐
I've got no idea how many photos we'll end up using, but it's hopefully going to change every year, rather than just adding to the older photos.
I didn't know about the AWS free tier, so I'll look into that, thanks ๐
P.S. Your grammar is excellent, and probably better than mine ๐
You might also contemplate Cloudflare R2. It's compatible with S3, so if you have a library that expects S3, R2 should also work, and can be cheaper (and maybe faster? Not so sure about how they store it across their edge network). They've got a price calculator too here.
Thank you, I'll check it out ๐
