Adding and Importing Media to Your Mylio Library

To begin the process of organizing and safeguarding your media collection, the initial step is to add your photos and videos to Mylio Photos. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to view all of your images in one convenient location within the app. With Mylio Photos, you can easily consolidate your pictures and videos from a variety of sources, including mobile devices, computers, hard drives, social media platforms such as Facebook and Flickr, old memory cards, as well as scanned family photo prints or slides. You can choose to copy or move them all into your Mylio Library Folder, link folders of images from their existing location without moving them, or use a combination of both approaches to fit your existing workflow.
