#MYLIO SYNCING PC#
75% of my photos are on the home PC and another 20% on my laptop. This would be catastrophic for me.Ĭan I access images from all of my devices? – The photo libraries on my home PC and laptop are two different collections. Only 10% of my photo library is on OneDrive/Dropbox/Flickr/SmugMug. There is actually a backup drive sitting in my closet that hasn’t been updated in almost a year. Would I survive a house fire or burglary? – Given my best intentions, I haven’t taken a backup offsite in years. My iPhone/iPad replicate their camera roll to one another and are backed up in iCloud, so those photos are protected. My laptop would fare better, with 80% of those photos on OneDrive and Dropbox, but it would still mean data loss. A lighting strike or big electrical surge would be a different story, as I would lose a bunch of photos on my home PC. Would I survive a device failure? – My home PC has a large mirrored RAID drive array, so I wouldn’t lose anything on a single drive failure.
Flickr/Facebook – I have Flickr/Facebook galleries that may or may not still exist on my PCs. #MYLIO SYNCING PLUS#
iPhone/iPad – I’ve got 1000+ photos on my iPhone that replicate between the two devices, plus a smattering (100 or so) of images that I’ve transferred to the devices from my photo library. If I’m taking photos and not at home, I’ll import and edit photos on the laptop. Laptop – This is my primary work and remote machine. Home PC – This is my main photo-editing and storage device with both a large monitor and plenty of disk space. Photos from some time periods are well-organized, while others are a mess. I try to be careful with backing up photos, but my collection is poorly protected against disaster. I’ve got tons of images from my DSLR and smartphone, but also scanned film from my childhood and pre-digital days, totaling 250GB+ and growing rapidly. I’m a somewhat avid photographer with a library of 50,000+ images from the past 40 years. I’ve been using Mylio for about a month, and I’ve found it to be a valuable tool for organizing and backing up photos across my devices.

When I’m at home, this happens over my local network. This allows my computers to “talk” to each other via my Mylio account and creates a secure connection to access my library. Mylio Photos is installed on both computers and logged in to the same account. The older computer stays at home and connected to my external drive where my entire photo library lives. The smaller, newer 14-inch laptop is the one I use for work and prefer to use for travel. However, you can add an optional third-party cloud service for additional accessibly when you’re on the road.
Mylio Photos is NOT a cloud service - your data is stored 100% on devices you control. You can also control what photos and videos you want to have available on any machine, so you can access your full-quality images, even when you’re offline. This means that you can import photos on one computer (a travel laptop, for example), and automatically have them synced to your external drive connected to your computer at home. It works similarly to Dropbox, in that any photo or video you add to your Mylio Library gets backed up and synced to all of your devices.
