Tired of Endless Scrolling? Discover How to Find Photos Fast!

by Doug Daulton September 20, 2023

Our devices are flooded with countless photos. Every picture tells a story, from cherished family moments to essential business assets. But, finding photos fast often feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. That’s where the all-new Dynamic Search will help.

Find your photos fast.

Dynamic Search isn’t just any search bar. Instead, it’s a clever tool that taps into AI. This tool helps to read and understand your photos. Afterwards, it sorts them. This makes it easy to find photos quickly. Moreover, all this magic happens on your device. So, your memories stay safe and private.

Now, let’s delve into what Dynamic Search brings to the table:

Firstly, SmartTags: They use AI to spot things in your photos. They can see over 1,000 different things. This makes your photos easy to find. Next up, Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Snapped a superb quote or a sign? With OCR, you can hunt that text down in your pictures. Then there’s Face Detection: Want photos of friends or family? No problem. Mylio finds faces. It even offers matching photo suggestions.

On the technical side, Deep Metadata Analysis: Mylio notes where you took each photo. It uses GPS for this. It also notes camera details from the metadata. Also, Personal Touch: Add your details to a photo. Mylio sees them and remembers. And don’t forget, Human-Readable Addresses: Type a location in plain English. Like “Beach 2020”. Mylio finds it using reverse geocoding.

To wrap things up, a lightning-quick database drives all these features. This makes your photo searches faster. With Mylio Photos+, gather your pictures from all your devices (phones, computers, memory cards, photo sticks – anything). Put them all in one safe spot.

Wedding photos, birthdays, reunions, and road trips. You’ll find any photo fast with Mylio Photos 24.

Rediscover memories.

On a chilly winter evening, your thoughts turn to family vacations while you sip your hot cocoa. In particular, you remember a memorable trip to Disneyland for Sarah’s 5th birthday. During that time, she had an infectious smile as she enjoyed the carousel.

You clearly remember capturing that unforgettable moment. But now, you wonder: where’s that photo? Thankfully, with Mylio Photos, you don’t have to guess or lean heavily on those pieced-together memories.

Type “Sarah’s 5th birthday” or “family trip to Disneyland” into the search bar. Due to Dynamic Search, Mylio Photos can easily find those memories using the details you provided for the photo. Also, Face Detection ensures any photo with Sarah’s bright smile from that day shows up for you.

Moreover, with embedded GPS data and straightforward addresses, you can search with “Disneyland 2017.” Before you know it, those precious memories are there for you to relive.

In today’s digital world, we snap countless photos. But sometimes, we can’t find that special picture we’re looking for. It’s easy for memories to get lost among all our files.

Dynamic Search is here to help. It brings your moments closer and ensures they’re always easy to find. It’s sensitive to the feelings in each photo, prioritizing your privacy while searching with precision. When organizing your family memories, Dynamic Search will be your go-to tool. It’ll help you relive and share all those golden times.

Mylio Drive: Sync photos in 100% privacy

by Doug Daulton September 18, 2023

Mylio Drive is the new feature in Mylio Photos Version 24.

One of the main benefits of Mylio Photos+ is its ability to sync and share original and optimized images. Over your local network, nothing is faster than one device talking to another.  Speeds are often faster than using portable hard drives to transfer the media.

But when traveling on the go, things might not run as smoothly. Perhaps your home network is set up to block external access. OR you forgot to leave a device with all your photos powered on at home and connected to the network.

How about a more streamlined way to access your photos? Imagine accessing your Mylio Photos library anytime to sync optimized images while on the move effortlessly. Optimized photos are 5X7, print-resolution images and can include complete raw editing flexibility.

Doesn’t that sound like the perfect solution to your photo management challenges? 

That’s what Mylio Drive brings to your Mylio Photos+ experience.

How Does Mylio Drive Help You?

With your Mylio Photos+ plan, you get unlimited storage for optimized images. This means you can keep a copy of your entire photo collection, ensuring easy yet private access on all your devices.

When you add images to your Mylio Photos library, they are also dynamically indexed for our improved search. A new optimized image is also created for portable and space-constrained devices.  Optimized images are smaller, more space-efficient versions of your original shots. Don’t worry; your originals are never modified and remain on the original device and any protection vaults you’ve set up.

These optimized images are great for daily use because they keep all the editing features and details of the original. You can use them for regular prints, sharing on social media, and more. Plus, they take up only about 5%-15% of the space of your original raw file. This means you can store many more photos on your phone or tablet without the fear of running out of storage space.

And the best part? This feature comes at no additional cost with your Mylio Photos+ plan.

How Does Mylio Drive Work?

As a Mylio Photos+ user, you have the exclusive opportunity to activate a Mylio Drive. Once activated, your devices will securely transfer a copy of your optimized images to store them on an encrypted server. This feature simplifies adding a new device or accessing files while you’re on the move. Say goodbye to the need for multiple devices to be turned on to sync your everyday images.

Your privacy is paramount; Mylio, the company, never accesses your content. 

You can activate Mylio Drive by accessing your Sync settings (Settings > Sync > Sync with Mylio Drive).

You will then see Mylio Drive in the list of connected devices. If Mylio Drive doesn’t meet your needs, you can remove the drive from the Device panel. It’s all in your hands!

Today, photos are ever-present and invaluable. Mylio Drive offers more than just storage; it’s a refined approach to image management. Your photos are kept private in an ad-free space. Prioritizing security, convenience, and efficiency, Mylio Drive helps you keep more of your library everywhere. 

Explore Mylio Drive included with Mylio Photos+. Your memories are worth it.

Mylio Drive will be available in the all-new Mylio Photos Version 24 (Coming soon).

Shared Albums Redefine Photo Sharing

by Doug Daulton September 15, 2023

Looking for a unique way to share your cherished memories or exclusive projects? Explore Shared Albums in Mylio Photos+. It’s a quick, easy, and semi-private way to share your favorite snapshots and moments.

What is A Shared Album?

Shared Albums allow you to design and curate semi-private photo collections, which you can then share with a select group of individuals. Pick an album and choose the Create Shared Album option. Then, step through the process to share with family, friends, or colleagues.

What Sets Mylio’s Shared Albums Apart?

Shared Albums are stored on web pages intentionally hidden from search engines. So, only those provided with the direct link can view or download your content, offering a layer of privacy. It’s comparable to a private directory that’s shielded from general access.

Users are expected to comply with Mylio’s terms of service when publishing shared albums. Specifically, they may not share offensive, inappropriate, or copyrighted content.  Mylio has provided users the means to report any content they find inappropriate or potentially infringing on copyrights.

How Might One Use Shared Albums?

The joy of family gatherings is unparalleled. Think back to that family reunion at Grandma’s home in the country. The kids playing in the field, Uncle Bob’s BBQ skills on display, and Aunt Lisa’s storytelling sessions. Every moment, every laugh, every shared story captured. 

With Shared Albums, you can create an album for these memories and share the link with family members across the globe. It becomes an exclusive, living digital album to which you can add new photos as they become available.

Shared Albums are exclusively available to Mylio Photos+ users and those sampling it on an active trial. At Mylio, we’re committed to enhancing your photo-sharing experience, blending user-friendliness with top-tier privacy.


Shared Albums, Spaces, and other fantastic features are available in Mylio Photos version 24. Click here to learn more about Mylio Photos 24.

Spaces & Remote Control: Collaboration Is Here

by Doug Daulton September 12, 2023

Ever wanted to show off your Mylio Photos library without revealing everything? That’s where Spaces comes in. It lets you decide what’s visible and what’s not. Imagine avoiding those awkward moments when a colleague accidentally sees your beach vacation pics while you’re presenting work photos. Or, you could share a Mylio Photos+ account with your family and don’t want everyone’s photos jumbled together.

With Spaces, you’re in control.

What are Spaces?

Simply put, Spaces are subject-specific views of your Mylio Photos library. You determine what categories of your library you want it to contain. Spaces can be made available to other Mylio Photos users to collaborate on editing, managing, and sharing the media visible within a given Space.

Your Privacy Preserved

Need to keep some media, like X-rays or other medical documents, private? Assign them to the Private category, and they won’t appear in other Spaces. You can hide individual items or entire folders. You can also set a PIN for added security.

Populating Spaces

Add media to Spaces using one of the following methods:

For Individual Items: Select a photo and add a Category. For Folders: Assign a Category to a folder, and all subfolders and items pick up that Category (unless you move them out).

Custom Spaces

With a Mylio Photos+ account, you can create custom Spaces using a combination of default and custom Categories. Put several categories into a QuickCollection to share with your family and friends.

For example, create custom categories for Birthdays, Holidays, and Vacations. Make a QuickCollection called “Our Family,” which includes all three, and add the Family category. Then, share that QuickCollection with your spouse and children. Add photos to any category within the QuickCollection, and everyone sees them.

Collaboration Made Easy

Use Remote Control with Spaces and collaborating with other users on your library becomes a breeze. Do you want them to view but not edit? No problem. Prefer they can share but not delete files? You got it. Adding new devices to your account for family members or colleagues? Give a user device complete control or no control.

Remote Control allows granular control of what each device can see and what actions a user can take on your library. It’s all about giving you the power to decide who sees what and how they interact with it.

Spaces and Remote Control reimagine how we manage, share, and collaborate on our media libraries. It offers a tailored experience, ensuring your privacy is maintained while allowing seamless collaboration.

Whether you’re looking to keep specific photos private, share specific memories with family, or collaborate on ongoing work or personal projects, Spaces provides the flexibility and control you need. With the added security of PIN protection and the convenience of Remote Control, managing your media has never been more accessible or private.

Spaces and other great features are available in Mylio Photos V24.
