Create and Manage QuickCollections

A QuickCollection is a saved group of QuickFilters that automatically gather and display specific photos based on your set criteria. For example, you can create a QuickCollection that contains your 5-star images with the SmartTag Bird, or that contain only your Raw photos photographed with your Canon camera that were captured in the last year.

QuickCollections update dynamically. If you add new photos that meet your criteria, they are automatically added to the QuickCollection. You can create and customize your own QuickCollections or use one of the built-in options in Mylio Photos. QuickCollections can be accessed in all Mylio Photos views and can even be applied to Events (e.g., show only 4 & 5-star photos from the Calendar Event titled “Tropical Vacation”) and used to create Mylio Photos+ custom sync policies (e.g., make all my original-quality images from my 2023 folder available offline on my tablet).
