Mylio Photos update includes social media photo backup

GaryPageau ,

Mylio Photos’ new update – shipping in late October – offers photo backup, management, and organization from all major technology platforms. The new Mylio Photos update (v.22.1) is expected to ship in the second half of October as a free update to all users. Mylio Photos is available for macOS and Windows computers and on iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices.

“When thinking about the memories that photos represent and the personal information they contain, we need to think about protecting them long-term,” says David Vaskevitch, CEO of Mylio and the former CTO of Microsoft. “We created Mylio Photos to streamline and secure the process of protecting and managing your family’s photo legacy.”

Mylio Photos version 22.1 update highlights:

  • Back up social media photos from Instagram, Facebook, and more.
  • Save disk space by removing duplicate (and now similar) photos.
  • Use Mylio Photos as a virtual drive to access and manage photos from any device.
  • Swipe to cull photos fast with QuickReview mode. Using gestures made familiar by apps like Tinder, users can swipe right to keep photos and swipe left to reject and flag for deletion. Suddenly, culling thousands of photos is a breeze.
  • Simpler, precise image editing—including scans. The app’s nondestructive editing tools now include a vignette tool, better tone/color adjustments, eye droppers, and auto-enhancements for scans (prints, slides, negatives). Mylio Photos also enables seamless workflows with Photoshop and other advanced editors. Simply hand off original raw files, save, and edited files are backed up in Mylio Photos.
  • Unique sharing and discovery. Choose to strip personal info from (or add logos or graphic watermarks to) image files before sharing to other applications or posting to social media. Dig deeper with the new Photo Explorer: Tap a photo to open web-search results for its geolocation.
