Mylio setup and photo organization tutorial

Amanda Littlecott walks through setting up Mylio and organizing a photo library drawn from computers, external drives and online services. The tutorial covers imports from Apple Photos, including older iPhoto and Aperture libraries, then explains search filters and saved quick collections.

A useful distinction runs through the walkthrough: albums group photos without copying them, while moving photos into folders changes their location on disk. Spaces control which parts of the same library appear in a view. Littlecott also demonstrates Photo DeDupe, Declutter and Quick Review, including keyboard shortcuts for keeping, rejecting and rating images.

The AI features discussed include suggested smart tags, facial recognition and Auto Mark for selecting shots. Littlecott says Auto Mark considers details such as sharpness, open eyes and exposure. Face matches still need review, especially before assigning a name to an entire batch.

The tutorial describes the free version as keeping photos local and allowing duplicate scans, while duplicate deletion or merging requires Mylio Photos Plus. It also covers metadata export: face names use the person-shown field, and color labels do not transfer. According to the presenter, Plus supports syncing across devices on the same account, but Spaces cannot be shared by link or collaboratively across separate accounts.
