Organizing with Folders

Folders in Mylio Photos represent the folders on your computer, external hard drives, and other devices that contain your original photos and videos. Depending on the media you’ve added to Mylio Photos, the Folders view may be divided into several sections.

• Mylio Photos Library – This section contains the Mylio InBox and Apple Photos (if added). It may also include folders marked as Library Folders or Android Photos from a Mylio-connected Android device (Mylio Photos+ only).
• Shared Content – This section shows any shared content, such as the Sample Library if installed.
• Social Media – This section shows folders of media downloaded from social media services such as Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr.
• Devices with Linked Folders – This section shows linked folders from computers, external drives, and NAS devices.
