Add Media From Android Media Library

There are two ways to add media from an Android phone or tablet into Mylio Photos:

• Installing the Mylio Photos app on your phone or tablet. The Mylio Photos Android app lets you easily view, edit, and organize the photos from your media library in the Mylio Photos app. If you’re a Mylio Photos+ subscriber, pictures from your media library will be automatically backed up to any device you’ve designated as a Vault and accessible via the Mylio Photos application on all of your devices. As you capture new images and videos, they will be automatically imported into your Mylio Photos Library.

• Importing from an Android phone or tablet using a direct connection (cable) to your computer. This is ideal for Mylio Photos users who wish to back up their Android Media Library to a computer without a Mylio Photos+ subscription.

Managing Android Media Library Access and Permissions

The first time you launch Mylio Photos on your Android phone or tablet, you’ll be asked to grant permission for Mylio Photos to access the media library. If you choose not to grant permission during setup or later wish to disconnect Mylio Photos from your media library, you can update access using the steps below.
