That\u2019s not to say the pictures I take are bad (though there\u2019s debate on that too!). Rather, I always forget to take photos for this blog whenever I\u2019m traveling.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve gotten better in recent years (thanks to the team here constantly reminding me). But that means I take a lot of photos \u2014 photos of me for my social media, pictures of landscapes and monuments for the website, menus so I can update prices on the blog, and everything in between.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/ten-years-a-nomad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">After over 15 years traveling the world<\/a>, I have thousands and thousands of pictures on my hard drive.<\/p>\n<p>Literally.<\/p>\n<p>I actually went through all my photos in 2022. It took TWO MONTHS of sorting and arranging them into folders, separating them by date and destination, and removing duplicates and those I didn\u2019t want to keep.<\/p>\n<p>It was a hassle. But it didn\u2019t have to be.<\/p>\n<p>Enter <a href=\"https:\/\/mylio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mylio Photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mylio is an app that makes it easy to save, store, edit, organize, and protect all your travel photos \u2014 as well as important documents, like passport scans and visa applications. It\u2019s pretty new and I wish I had found it sooner because it would have saved a lot of time. But, hopefully, it can do that for you!<\/p>\n<p>Mylio is designed to simplify your life as a traveler, so you don\u2019t have to waste time uploading pictures and transferring them from device to device.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re like me and have tons of pictures \u2014 ones you want to keep safe and organized \u2014 here\u2019s how Mylio can help ensure you don\u2019t lose those travel memories.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What is Mylio?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mylio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mylio<\/a> is an app that turns your computer, phone, tablet, and\/or storage device into a convenient and powerful system for managing a lifetime of memories. <\/p>\n<p>With it, all your photos and videos \u2014 from any source \u2014 are cataloged into a single library that\u2019s accessible on all your devices.<\/p>\n<p>Did you take photos in Paris on your iPhone but videos on your tablet? With Mylio, they will sync automatically to your laptop, so you don\u2019t have to transfer them. Every photo is available on every device. All the time.<\/p>\n<p>Most travelers (including me, until recently) don\u2019t have a system in place for organizing their photos or keeping them safe from device failure, theft, or loss. We just share some on social media and then dump the rest on a hard drive or in the cloud. <\/p>\n<p>As a result, many travelers struggle to find specific pictures, having to browse multiple folders for the image they need. I can\u2019t count how many times I\u2019ve hunted through folders to find a photo, only to come up empty-handed.<\/p>\n<p>While dumping pictures in the cloud is simple, it\u2019s not exactly the best solution. The disadvantages are worth considering:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cloud storage requires you to pay more as you add more photos. Some cloud plans have limited storage. <\/li>\n<li>Some solutions have nice features on desktop (Adobe Lightroom), but limited ones on mobile devices.<\/li>\n<li>Some solutions don\u2019t allow syncing between MacOS, iOS, Android, or Windows platforms. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mylio allows travelers to avoid all these limitations. It\u2019s the simplest way to organize, protect, and preserve your travel photos and videos.<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Why Use Mylio?<\/h3>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/mylio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mylio<\/a>, travelers turn their smartphones, computers, and storage devices into a secure, connected library of photos, videos, and other important documents. Travelers can easily sync their Android, iOS, Windows, and MacOS devices; add cloud storage; and even back up media from Facebook and Instagram. <\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, here\u2019s what Mylio can do for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Collect<\/strong>: It brings all photos and videos together in a beautiful library, including those taken before \u201cthe iPhone era.\u201d <\/li>\n<li><strong>Select<\/strong>: It cleans up your library, removes duplicates in seconds, tags people, and adds events and places. Keep only the photos you need and want to preserve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protect<\/strong>: It automatically backs everything up to your devices. And if you want to add cloud storage (like Google Drive), Mylio will encrypt everything so the data stays with you and nothing is shared with \u201cBig Brother.\u201d <\/li>\n<li><strong>Access<\/strong>: No matter which device you work on, updates are automatically synced to reflect changes instantly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most importantly, photos and videos stay on each device and are not \u201ckept hostage\u201d in the cloud. Mylio shrinks raw photos to less than 5% of their original file size so your phone\/tablet\/laptop won\u2019t get filled up \u2014 all while preserving full editing capabilities if you want to edit\/adjust any photos or videos. (The app protects and preserves the originals for when you need them too. It\u2019s all automatic with no attention needed). <\/p>\n<p>If you do need additional storage beyond your devices, you can also link Mylio to the cloud or to a physical hard drive for additional storage.<\/p>\n<p>And because Mylio stores everything on your devices, the price of Mylio doesn\u2019t go up when users add more files or connect more devices.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, you can store e-books and PDFs in your Mylio account, allowing you to access reading material offline whenever you need it. This is perfect for those long flights or trips to destinations where Wi-Fi may be unreliable.<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>How Mylio Works<\/h3>\n<p>Once you sign up for an account at <a href=\"https:\/\/mylio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mylio.com<\/a>, you can download the app onto your device(s). Here\u2019s what the dashboard looks like:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2918\" height=\"1604\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Mylio app dashboard on desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/mylio1.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2918\" height=\"1604\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/mylio1.png\" alt=\"The Mylio app dashboard on desktop\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>You can then start dumping in your photos. You just drag and drop. It\u2019s super straightforward: <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2846\" height=\"1502\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A screenshot from the Myliophoto app\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/mylio2.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2846\" height=\"1502\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/mylio2.png\" alt=\"A screenshot from the Myliophoto app\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at a handful of photos I\u2019ve added so far. Notice how Mylio automatically arranges them by date:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2248\" height=\"1578\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Mylio app dashboard on desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/myliocal.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2248\" height=\"1578\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/myliocal.png\" alt=\"The Mylio app dashboard on desktop\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>While you can arrange things by folders and albums, the main calendar view will have everything arranged by date as well, so you can see exactly when your pictures were taken.<\/p>\n<p>You can also see exactly where they were taken also:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2298\" height=\"1762\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Mylio app geotag map view on desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/myliomap1.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2298\" height=\"1762\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/myliomap1.png\" alt=\"The Mylio app geotag map view on desktop\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>You can zoom in to see specific destinations within each country too:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2310\" height=\"1614\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Mylio app geotag map view on desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/myliomap2.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2310\" height=\"1614\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/myliomap2.png\" alt=\"The Mylio app geotag map view on desktop\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>This is especially helpful if you can\u2019t remember where you were for certain parts of your trip. You can manually tag any old photos that are not automatically added as well.<\/p>\n<p>And if you need to edit photos before you share them, you can do so directly in Mylio:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2916\" height=\"1768\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Editing images in the Mylio app for photos\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/mylioedit.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2916\" height=\"1768\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/mylioedit.png\" alt=\"Editing images in the Mylio app for photos\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>And since all your photos are connected, if you edit one on your desktop, it will also be edited on your tablet and smart phone. It\u2019s all linked!<\/p>\n<p>And while Mylio is great for photos, you can also add other documents, such as scans of your passport, visa documents, flight or train tickets, and more, ensuring all your vital travel documents are safe and secure and accessible across all devices. <\/p>\n<p>Mylio has facial recognition too, so once you\u2019ve tagged people a few times, this feature kicks in and allows you to sort and search photos by person \u2014 not just place or date. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2244\" height=\"1388\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Mylio app dashboard on desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/mylioface1.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2244\" height=\"1388\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/mylioface1.png\" alt=\"The Mylio app dashboard on desktop\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>I tagged myself once and it flagged over a hundred photos with me in it. If you travel with friends or family often, this makes sorting (and finding) pictures much easier, as you can simply type in \u201cmom\u201d or \u201cdad,\u201d and all the pictures tagged with them will pop up.<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Who is Mylio For?<\/h3>\n<p>Obviously, <a href=\"https:\/\/mylio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mylio<\/a> is best for travelers who take a large number of pictures \u2014 including travel professionals. The safety and accessibility features make it a no-brainer for people working across multiple devices. It makes sharing on social a breeze too.<\/p>\n<p>However, even if you\u2019re just an average traveler, Mylio can help you better sort, save, and organize your photos. The calendar and map-view options make finding and sharing them super simple.<\/p>\n<p>And since it\u2019s cheaper than cloud services like Dropbox, you\u2019re getting a ton of value for even less money!<\/p>\n<p>In short, if you travel often and love taking photos, Mylio is an app worth downloading!<\/p>\n<p><center>***<\/center><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s never been easier to take amazing photos of your travels, allowing you to capture and save incredible memories from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s also never been more tedious to save and organize them safely and securely.<\/p>\n<p>With Mylio, you can not only easily store and save your photos but also edit and access them anytime. And using the geotagging and calendar features, you can easily drift down memory lane any time you want to revisit a trip.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to ensure that your best travel memories are safe and secure, <a href=\"https:\/\/mylio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">check out Mylio Photos<\/a>.
