Spaces provide a powerful way to organize your Mylio Photos library into clean, purpose-driven views. Each Space displays only the media associated with specific Categories, helping you declutter your workspace and focus on what matters most—whether that’s personal memories, family history, or work projects.
Spaces also offer robust privacy and security options. You can use Passcodes to restrict access and, with a Family or Team plan, control what other users on your account can see and do across devices. Because Spaces are Category-based, assigning content to a Space is as simple as tagging a File, Folder, Album, or Person with the appropriate Category.
- Learn how to assign Categories to selected media – Tag individual photos, videos, or documents using the Info Panel.
- Learn how to use Tap-to-Categorize – Quickly apply Categories to Folders, Albums, and People.

- Public – Shows all media except items tagged with Private.
