In this example, we’ll be using a photo collection we created in an earlier post. Any public Dropmark collection containing images will work. But the screen saver is an operating system-level feature, and now Google has a presence there, one that promotes content from its social network, something that Google has, in general, been deemphasizing.Thanks to Dropmark’s built-in RSS feeds, you can easily turn a collection into a custom photo screensaver on both Mac and Windows. On Mac, there are fewer Google apps, the most significant one being Chrome. On iOS, Google already offers many apps, including the Gboard virtual keyboard. This isn’t anywhere near the first time that Google has come out with tools for Apple’s products. If you have additional displays attached to your Mac, each display will show a different image. The screen saver shows a different image each time it appears. To install the screen saver for Mac, download it, double click the “.saver” file in Finder, select “Google Featured” in the Desktop & Screen Saver section of System Preferences, and then allow the app to download automatic updates.

“With our new Featured Photos screensaver for Mac, you can display stunning, high-resolution photography from our Google+ members whenever your computer is inactive,” Google product manager Neil Inala wrote in a Google+ post.
