You need a TV with an Apple TV. An iPhone is optional and only needed for the remote.
A TV with an Apple TV, and an iPhone if you want a remote.
familyTV fetches your photos from your own drive when it needs them. It never uploads or changes them: access is read-only.
For Google Drive and OneDrive you sign in on the provider's own page, so familyTV never sees your password. You don't need a familyTV account.
Sign in to the drive where your photos live and approve read-only access.
Open familyTV on your Apple TV.
Pick WebDAV, OneDrive or Google Drive.
Sign in on the provider's own page and approve read-only access. Only then does familyTV fetch your photos.
Your photos appear on the TV. They stay in your drive and nothing is uploaded.
You don't need your phone to show a slideshow. Pair it when you want to use your iPhone as the remote to favourite, sort and tag.
