Meural Canvas II storage
I have 3 Meural canvas II's and have added images to all 3. Do the images actually get stored in the device or just on the cloud? In other words, if I turn off the wifi in my home, will the canvas ...
I was hoping someone would respond to you as I have run out of space in the cloud storage and I am not even close to downloading the number of photos I want on the canvas. I have a call into customer service to see if I can buy more cloud space.
I gave up on support. I just got SD cards from Best Buy and configured the canvas to pull from the SD cards instead of the cloud.
How much extra storage does that give you?
- Depends on the size off the SD cards. I used 64 gb cards. So far I have 400 pictures on one, 250 on one, and 200 on a third.
I have run out of space and still plan to have our wedding and several vacations on the canvas. I would hope they would up the amount of cloud storage or allow us to buy more. I filled up my 20 gb in 6 weeks and I am just getting started.
So you have three cards. Is it easy to switch to the SD cards from the app or laptop?
Meural support is absolutely awful!
Hello all,
I have just received and set up Canvas II and only now am reading somewhat alarmingly the issues relating to not being able to control displaying images on an SD card to the canvas. Has anyone actually been able to get the Canvas to display just SD card stored images?
It is scarey to think that after spending nearly a thousand euros for the 27inch version that one is being forced to purchase images from the galleries. I do a lot of photography and image editing, with some Astrophotography, so I am quite happy to observe my own images. Occasional Masterpieces (apart from my own!) are of course always nice but dont want my arm twisted to avail of that all the time.
Would appreciate any help at all :-)

The frame is great, the software and storage sucks!! I bought the SD card loaded thousands of images but the software won't turn the frame back on in the morning to the SD card. If you want to add pictures you need to take the frame off the wall take out the SD card, load the pictures, put the sd card back in and re-hang the Meural. I wound up paying for the cloud storage. Loading pictures and controlling through their cloud works fine. But I shouldn't have to pay extra to do that.
Such a rip off.
I have copied images to an SD card and then inserted the SD card into the card reader on the Meural. The device displays the images from the SD card. I dont use the netgear cloud as I found the interface very difficult and slow. I have never viewed any of the netgear provided images, only my own, from my SD card.
