Keeping Up with your Organization

Now that the initial mountain of photo organizing has been climbed, it’s time to create a plan to keep your photo library up to date as you continue to take new photos. This is an important step to help ensure that you doesn’t fall back into the abyss of disorganization!

If you find this isn’t something you are able to do on your own, we do offer long-term image management plans. From simple check-ins to full management, we’re here to help!

Our Recommended Workflow for Library Upkeep:

You should do this on a schedule that works best for you. For some people, that is every day or every week, for others it is every month, every six months, or even every year! Figure out a schedule that you will be able to stick with.

• Step 1: Take New Photos

  This is the fun part! Most of us are taking new photos every day.

• Step 2: Cull your images

  Get rid of any photos you don’t want or need. You can do this right after taking new photos, or at the end of every day/week/month. Whatever schedule works best for you.

  You can also do this step in Mylio after you’ve added your new photos if you prefer.

• Step 3: Backup Your Photos

  Open Mylio on your computer and connect all of your vaults.

  If the new photos are coming from your phone, then open the Mylio app on your phone to import the new images. The app has to stay open on your phone to sync.

  If the new photos are coming from another location, click the “+” button and follow the uploading prompts.

  Make sure all of your new photos are backed up to all of your vaults to ensure no data loss occurs.

• Step 4: Foundational Organization

  Organize your new images into your already established foundational organization. For most people this includes organizing into folders by year/month/event.

  Ensure that any new organization you do is backed up to your vaults.

• Step 5: Detailed Organization

  If you want to take the extra organizing step, you can tag people, rate, and/or label your new images.
