Sharing Your Mylio Account

Most Mylio Photos users prefer their unique Mylio Account and Mylio Photos Library. However, sharing access with family and household members can consolidate all users’ photos and videos into a single Mylio Photos Library.

A single Mylio Photos+ subscription can be used to install Mylio Photos+ on unlimited devices. This can allow all of your family or household’s devices to sync to a single Mylio Photos Library and Account.

For example – a household with two adults and one teenager might have the following devices:

• A smartphone for each member of the household
• A desktop computer primarily used by an adult.
• A laptop computer shared by an adult and a teenager.
• A tablet primarily used by the teenager.

Each person in the household captures photos and videos with their smartphone. One household member also has a dedicated camera and many years of digital images saved on an external hard drive.

In this scenario, Mylio Photos+ could be installed on each smartphone, computer, and tablet, allowing Mylio Photos+ to sync all photos from each device to a consolidated Mylio Photos Library. All devices must be logged in using the same Mylio Photos+ account credentials.

An external hard drive could be connected to a computer and added to Mylio Photos+ as a device. If it has extra storage space, this device could be designated as the family Vault which would hold a complete copy of everyone’s photos, regardless of which phone or camera they were captured with.

Any family member could access and manage the entire family Mylio Photos Library from their device(s).

!WARNING: Giving access to other users provides those individuals with the ability to access your entire library, including the option to organize, move, or delete media. We highly recommend using a third-party backup solution such as Time Machine or Backblaze to protect against accidental data loss caused by human error.

*NOTE: If devices are on different accounts or logins (such as household members who want to share a Mylio Photos Library but use different Apple IDs), they cannot see each other or share a common library. For example, if a Mylio Account were created using the Apple login option, all devices sharing this account must be logged in with that user’s Apple ID.
