Adding a Linked Folder tells Mylio Photos to watch it in your file system without moving it from its original location. Linked Folders preserve your existing file structure and are actively monitored for changes. If you add photos to a Linked Folder, Mylio will automatically import the new additions. This is the most helpful way to add images to Mylio Photos already on a hard drive, especially if other applications reference them.

Hi Gerry - When you link a folder in Mylio Photos, it automatically watches that folder which includes all of the subfolders in the selected linked folder. You don’t have to add subfolders individually.

No where do you cover linking a folder AND all its subfolders. I have to link all subfolders individually which is mostly useless. Is there a way to link to a folder that has multiple subfolders based on date of photos?
