About Mylio Photos

Mylio Photos collects photos scattered across external drives, SD cards, phones, tablets and existing libraries such as Apple Photos into one library you can browse as a single timeline. You decide where the library lives, who can see it and how it is organized, without being tied to a cloud service.
