Digital frame for cloud photos? Or bin it all off?

Disclaimer: I seem to only have a basic/entry level of common sense when it comes to tech.

I want to actually see my digital photos on a device like a digital photo frame or iPad, but without having to download them or put them on a USB every time I want to see them. I have thousands of pics that I spent ages transferring to iCloud Drive. I can't seem to access any of them though unless I'm on a PC and click on them individually, whereas I'd just like to look at them as I'm going about my day at home, like the digital photo frames of yore. What's the point of having all these photos that people never look at unless they spend hours going through their PC? What am I missing?

What do I do? Bin off iCloud and go to a different cloud service where I can actually see my photos? Which one? Or sell my soul to a third party app who can access all my photos so I can see them on a digital frame? Or is there a better way?

We have an aura frame. You just transfer photos to the server. You can control it all from an app on your phone.

Hadn't heard of Facebook Portal, will have a look, thanks.
I read a review of the Aura which sounds good, but I feel weird about letting a third party app having access to all my pics. But I feel a bit like I don't have a choice if I want to see my photos!

My dh bought me the Aura last Christmas and it's the best present ever. We all love it and at least once a day someone will point a photo out on it and it all brings back lovely memories.

We have a few nixplay frames, can't reccomend them highly enough.
