Add Media vs. Add Device – What is the Difference?

One of the most common questions about Mylio Photos involves adding media and devices to Mylio Photos. While these two options might sound similar, they serve very different purposes.

• Adding Media is making photos and videos visible in your Mylio Photos Library. This is done by Moving or Copying media to a folder that Mylio Photos is watching, or adding a Linked Folder, which tells Mylio Photos to watch that specific folder.
• Adding Devices to Mylio Photos, adds places for your photos to live. Devices can be for viewing – like your laptop or mobile phone, or for storage – such as an external hard drive or cloud service. Devices such as a desktop computer with a lot of storage capacity can be used for viewing and storage.
