What is the Mylio InBox?

The Mylio InBox is a quick and easy way to add media to your Mylio Photos Library. When the Mylio Photos application is installed, the Mylio InBox folder is automatically created. You can find it in the Mylio Photos Folders view. You’ll also see a shortcut in Windows Explorer or macOS Finder. Drag and drop new media into the Mylio InBox in your file system or save media from other applications to this folder. Mylio Photos continuously scans the Mylio InBox, and when new media is added, it will appear in your Mylio Photos Library.
