No, but thanks, it looks like a handy plugin!

We are looking for a solution to load images directly into a slideshow inside of a WordPress website from a folder outside of the WordPress installation. The client would upload the image files to an external folder on the server. The image files would then automatically load for each slideshow inside the WordPress website based upon folder and file name.

The client is already able to do this with their existing website, but it is not a WordPress website.

Is this possible with WordPress?

Not sure if WordPress security allows it. Good question for stack exchange

Yes, we were thinking that may be the case but were hoping someone out there may have some experience with this situation.
