How to unlock the New Wallpaper achievement in Forza Motorsport 5 - Definitive Guide
Edit: So it seems this glitch still works! But as several comments have noted you have to have at least 1 download already to have this work! I recommend just taking a picture and using a second account to download it if you haven't had any actual downloads.
So this may have just been a glitch on my part, but I'll put it up too see if other people have it work to their advantage as well.
While I also took pictures and shared them, I also noticed that every time I launched the game I earned an additional download on the achievement tracker. What I did was snap the achievement app and highlighted this achievement. Go to the main menu, then hit to go back to the 'start screen.' Then hit or or whatever it is to load up the main menu. This awarded me one additional download every time. I did this for my last ~70 downloads. Now it may have been someone downloading my photos every 4 seconds but it's very unlikely. You don't have to dashboard or quit the game ever, just keep backing out and going back into the main menu.
Let me know if this works or was just a glitch I experienced! The last time I tested it was also the time I earned this achievement, so if it's a lot later than the 'date won' for this guide it might be why it's not working for you. I'll delete this guide if I get enough people saying it doesn't work.

I just wanted to share a little something as a supplement to the solution for the 100 photo downloads achievement. You can, of course, share your photos and have a secondary account on the same console go in and download them 100 times like the other solution states. If you're like me, however, you might not want to actively attempt this achievement until you've gotten most of the other achievements done (you've got a lot of races to do, right?).
Well, at your leisure, you can pause the game during a race and scroll through the menu and enter photo mode. Snap a photo, save and share it. You can toy around with it, mess with the effects, try to snap a cool photo, or whatever. Just be sure to share it with any names/descriptors you choose. Do this from time to time.
I say this because people actually DO download photos, believe it or not. At the time I wrote this solution I've shared maybe 3 photos since I started the game and I've got over 30 downloads. If you share a photo from time to time you might get regular downloads as people search for more recent additions.
To get a little variety and to share some photos on a regular basis maybe you just want to share a photo every time you put a new car out on the track. It is up to you how often you want to share or how creative you want to be, but if you don't want to grind out downloads by yourself this may be an option.
If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below, and a thumbs up will always warm my heart!
Cheers and happy racing!
Update: Just a note that while Forza may say that you have 0 shared photos downloaded by others within the game, check your progress in the achievement app. Some users have reported no progress within Forza, but the achievement app is still reporting progress.

I've posted around 30 photos over the last week but don't seem to be getting anybody downloading them. Think this chevo is going to take longer then I thought

Currently at about 70 photos downloaded since I first posted this solution. I started sharing more regularly and the number of downloads increased drastically.

My friends and I were able to easily get this achievement by snapping 25 or so photos of our respective rides, then simply searching for each other as creators and downloading all of each others photos. Pretty simple if you've got a couple friends that play Forza.

I can add more detail. Sorry, I just threw this out there after I got the achievement using this method.

This is an alternative solution to using the dummy account, you will only need to download Forza Hub app on your console or you can access Forza Hub from your PC browser.
I have unlocked this achievement by viewing my own pictures on Forza Hub, it will count a download every time you view your pictures (at least one instance). Sometimes when you close the Forza Hub fully an reopen it will count the views/downloads again.
Basically, I made a bunch of pics (around 20) and daily went to Forza Hub and viewed my own pics to unlock this achievement.

The achievement is very easy.
Most likely, you have a second profile on your console (you're punching your friend in the face in Mortal Kombat X!), we'll need it.
We take 10 screenshots through the photo menu, go to the Forza main menu, change the profile to a friend’s profile, then:
1. Forza Gallery
2. Search
3. Enter your username
4. We look at all the photos, go to the main menu, and start from point 1.
Please note that the achievement % will not count until you return to your profile. Watch it 50 times, come back, get it.
