Mylio announces updates to organization and sharing tools

Mylio announced the upcoming release of Mylio Photos (version 24), a highly anticipated update set to redefine how individuals and small businesses manage their constantly growing collections of photos, videos, and documents.

“Every person we talk to feels the same way – they are drowning in a sea of digital clutter. The number of files an average person produces today can feel overwhelming,” said David Vaskevitch, CEO of Mylio. “The blessing is a record of one’s life and legacy. The curse is finding a needle in the haystack. With the next version of Mylio Photos, we achieve two important goals: collecting precious memories into a secure library and making them easier to find and share.”

In this release, Mylio Photos users can organize their media into Personal, Family, Work, and Private Spaces. Spaces provide convenience and help make large libraries feel less cluttered, the company said. Spaces offer security options for those concerned about privacy. Mylio Photos+ users can craft custom Spaces tailored to specific themes.

Dynamic Search delivers faster results than any other search tool, with an AI-driven index built entirely on the user’s local device to preserve privacy. No outside entity, including Mylio, has access to the user’s data. Mylio Photos’ AI-generated SmartTags create the index by identifying over 1,000 activities, objects, and properties. Examples include:

• Text in images and documents, found with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
• Faces in pictures, using Face Detection that suggests matches based on user input]
• Photo and file properties from the camera’s EXIF metadata
• Embedded and user-added IPTC metadata
• GPS data that’s reverse geo-coded into standard, human-readable addresses

Shared Albums allow Mylio Photos+ users to create and curate semi-private albums and share them with a select audience. Mylio hosts images on non-indexed web pages that make it easy to share viewing and downloads with just those you want. The user has precise control over what metadata is included in the files as well as a SafeShare option that removes all personal information to improve privacy and safety.

Mylio Photos (version 24) is scheduled for release on all platforms in late September 2023. Mylio Photos+, the premium plan, is available for $9.99 per month or $99 (USD) per year.
