Quickstart guide
Installation
Where to first install Mylio Photos
When you install and set up Mylio Photos for the first time, it’s best to do it on a computer with plenty of storage space. You'll also want at least one external hard drive to serve as a Vault to protect your original files.
If you only own one computer, install it on that device. The ideal device for your initial setup is a desktop computer that can:
- Remain powered on
- Is directly connected to your external hard drive(s)
- Has a constant internet connection
This setup will ensure all your Mylio Photos-linked devices stay in sync as much as possible.

Searching images in Mylio Photos

You can also try out all search features with the Sample Library. Just choose Help > Add Sample Library to explore what Mylio can do.
