FAQ

gFolio is made with love and care to display your photos and slideshows. And unlike the official Google Drive app, it will run on Google TV, Android TV, or Amazon Fire TV Sticks so you can show your photos and videos in the living room.

gFolio uses intelligent caching and prefetching to download what it needs only when it needs it. The downloads are sized for your device’s display so it doesn’t download or store more than necessary.

After you log in set the starting folder for the app to limit the app to displaying only that Google Drive folder.

gFolio will run on all Google TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire TV Sticks running Android 6.0 or higher. This is all modern Sony, TCL, Amazon Fire TV Stick and Onn models.

LG or Samsung TVs run their own OS, so you would need to connect a compatible device to it. An Onn or Amazon Fire TV Stick works well for this.

The app will run on all Android phones running Android 6.0 or higher.

gFolio Reviews

★★★★★

This app is amazing and the developer is unbelievably engaged! I contacted him about some usability concerns, and he had them all fixed in a new version of the app within a week! I use this app to allow my elderly mother to view photos and videos on her Android TV that I remotely share with her by uploading to Google Drive. It works perfectly for that — by far, better than any other app I’ve tried. If you have an extra smart TV, it would make a great display for a wedding or open house as well.

Its a very simple interface that does what it promises. The photos were perfect quality/lossless. It streams my MP4 videos without issue with a the free VLC app added to my firestick (which gFolio will prompt you for if you don’t have something to play the video). So now after moving on from owning a DVD player, I’m able to upload my fitness DVD’s I watch repeatedly to my Google Drive and stream them on my TV conveniently.

I searched for some time for a sideshow app to show off photos from my Google drive. This works very well.

GFolio has given me just about everything I wanted from Google Drive. Slideshows, quick loading, a randomize button, gif and video compatibility without a hitch, etc. Plus there’s a bunch of cool bells and whistles like the transitions! I dig it. Good purchase.
