Getting your head around how Mylio shares all your photos and videos across your devices into one unified ‘vault’ takes a moment or two, but thankfully the initial setup process helps you understand what’s happening. With Mylio, since you upload nothing, all your data remains 100% private, and in this day and age, that’s a very reassuring feeling!Īdding multiple devices is simple and fast. It’s not just hacking, either – many people aren’t comfortable having their images in online albums, even if they’re marked private. The Cloud may seem like a secure way to house your precious photos and videos, but anything online is hackable and accessible by anyone with the intent and malicious skills. Once this is understood, it’s easy to see the principal benefit of using Mylio Photos is one of privacy.

None of your media is uploaded to the Internet – the movement is only across your (private) local WiFi network.

This can be confusing since we associate WiFi with being online, but in this case, the WiFi is just providing a local network to Mylio. Nothing is uploaded to a Cloud – media is simply sent over WiFi across your devices, so you can access everything in one central, unified location. You don’t need to go ‘online’ to use Mylio to share, manage and access your images – all you need is access to a local WiFi network. The key difference between Mylio Photos and iCloud, Lightroom Mobile or any of the myriad other online photo sharing/management platforms is that everything occurs offline… or rather, locally on your WiFi network. Mylio is a simple solution to help you rediscover and unify photos & videos ‘lost’ across all your devices.Īside from all the excellent photo management and discovery features of Mylio which we’ll discuss below in the review, the main benefit of Mylio Photos is privacy. To optimise storage, photos are optimised to approximately 5% of their original size. You can store and organise an unlimited number of photos and videos – the only limitations are the capacity of your devices. This makes it great for families and small businesses where people are using a mix of products and platforms.
CREATE MYLIO ANDROID
Mylio is platform-agnostic, meaning if your laptop is a Mac but your phone is an Android and your tablet runs Windows, you can still use Mylio. Mylio Photos also helps you find images faster via smart organisation and search features, as well as offering handy image editing tools too. You choose to ‘share’ any photos or videos across these devices via your secure WiFi connection – as long as the devices are connected and active on the same WiFi network, the apps will sync your chosen content. Mylio Photos uses local media storage and device-to-device syncing and backup to allow users to connect multiple image libraries together to be accessed in one location – all without the Internet or the Cloud.
CREATE MYLIO WINDOWS
Mylio Photos is a downloadable photo management app for Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows ARM.
