Generally a really great screensaver option. However, it's more than disappointing you can only use your own photos by uploading them to Google Drive. Other sources for private pictures, like e.g. local storage or other cloud drives, are not supported.

The app itself works fine with Google Photos, but I would really love an option to use a USB stick or external drive in my TCL TV for the photos so it's not having to access my Google libraries all the time.
