If you’d like granular control over the files stored on a specific device, you can use SyncCollections. SyncCollections allow you to choose which photos sync based on:
Rating, Label, and Flag
Keyword
Folder
Date
File Type
File Extension
File Size
Category
Additionally, you can save a Custom Preset to capture your own set of rules that you may want to reuse on multiple devices.
SyncCollections can be configured in many ways. Here are a few examples:
Keep all 5-star photos of the people in your family on your phone as optimized quality Images so you always have a high-quality version to view and share.
Back up your media marked with 4-Stars, 5-Stars, and Pick Flags at the original quality on Mylio Drive+.
Keep all raw photos from a specific camera captured within the last 90 days on your laptop so you can edit and work with them, even offline.
