About Mylio Photos
Mylio Photos is a photo and video organiser that builds one library from photos scattered across computers, phones, external drives and cloud accounts, then keeps it in sync directly between your devices over a peer-to-peer connection. No cloud upload is required, which appeals to people who want privacy or have large libraries that would be expensive to store online, though you can add your own cloud or a vault drive for backup. It includes AI tagging, face recognition, duplicate detection, a calendar view, basic editing and the ability to read Lightroom and Apple Photos libraries. A free tier covers the basics, and Mylio Photos+ is a subscription that adds multi-device sync, vaults and more. Apps run on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. The downside is that sync only works well when devices are on, and the interface has a learning curve.
Best for: People with large libraries who want privacy and no cloud storage bills.
