Mylio is a photo management application that is designed to keep all of your photos on all of your devices without the need for the cloud. Mylio syncs your devices over your local network, so any changes made to one device (new photos, edits, organization) are quickly and securely shown on all of your devices. Mylio helps ensure your photos are protected, organized, and with you all of the time.

Please note: Mylio Support does not have an incoming phone number.
XMP files are a “sidecar” file that Mylio creates when changes have been made to your photos. Because Mylio is non-destructive, your originals will not be changed. Instead, changes will be recorded to the XMP file and the XMP file changes are applied to your original image.
XMP files are a standard for recording metadata for images and are used by many applications. Changes made in Mylio can be read by most applications that utilizes XMP files.
If you wish to apply metadata to the original (non-raw) image, you can do so with Mylio’s “Save Metadata to File” option.
Mylio supports a growing number of file types. A full list of currently supported files can be found here.
A list of all supported cameras can be found here. We are always working to support new cameras – if yours is not listed please contact our support team.
Mylio counts traditional computers as devices that count against your device limit. This means that mobile phones and tablets, external hard drives, NAS devices, and cloud storage services do not count against your overall device limit.
If you are using Lightroom in conjunction with Mylio you may not see edits made by Lightroom to XMP files. The unedited Original may be displayed in Mylio instead.
If you wish to utilize the cloud, Mylio works with certain cloud providers to offer cloud protection.
