I'm looking for a way to make it easier to upload photos to a flash drive for my Grandparents' slideshow photo frame. Is there a flash drive that allows uploading photos directly from a phone via Bluetooth? It would definitely simplify the process compared to having to upload photos to a computer first. I'm open to any other suggestions as well!

You might want to consider getting an OTG (On-The-Go) cable. It allows you to connect the flash drive directly to your phone and transfer the pictures easily that way!
They've got double-sided flash drives now! You can plug one side into your phone (like USB-C) and the other side into the frame. There are also options for older devices if you need a Lightning USB!
Some photographers use Wi-Fi-enabled flashcards, but honestly, that technology hasn’t really improved much since its early days. It’s not super popular among users these days.
Instead of dealing with flash drives, you could return the frame and opt for a Wi-Fi-enabled photo frame. It lets family members use an app to share pictures without the hassle of transferring files physically.
Just make sure you choose one with some moderation tools, so you don't have any family pranksters uploading random stuff!
