The private media management company Mylio has announced the launch of a new, privacy-robust backup and sync service called Mylio SecureCloud.
This new software offering from Mylio complements the brand’s Mylio Photos+ photo and media management software platform.
However, the key distinction here is that, unlike Mylio Photos+, Mylio SecureCloud offers a secure, fully private and efficient cloud storage package for users.
One of the more important philosophies behind Mylio SecureCloud is that it lets users organize and store their media, including photo and video collections, in a truly private, customizable and efficient cloud storage option.
Mylio is putting forth SecureCloud as a robust option for individuals, freelance professionals, small businesses and families who want to keep their media flexibly secure.
Key Features of Mylio SecureCloud
SecureCloud is designed to offer several key features that users won’t easily find in alternative cloud storage provider options. Its particular focus on privacy and restrictive security is designed to let users keep their data securely backed up but without the insecurity of third-party snooping.
Here are several of SecureCloud’s key features and their benefits.
Deeply Customizable Syncing
An especially outstanding feature of SecureCloud is just how much it lets a user control what data gets backed up to the cloud and what data stays local.
Thanks to Mylio’s finetuned sync controls, users can mix both cloud and local storage as needed for the sake of quickly uploading crucial work for access on the go while leaving less urgent data local if they like.
Combined with Mylio Photos, SecureCloud’s precise sync options let users access full-size copies of important documents and media from anywhere while having access to a full archive of optimized media through their Mylio Photos+ account.
Full Data Protection
Mylio has always shown itself to take data security seriously. This was evident with the different security and privacy features found in Mylio Photos+ and the same is being applied to SecureCloud.
In the case of this cloud storage offering, all of a user’s data is protected by full encryption and, crucially, with access to decrypted versions of the data only through the user’s device while logged into their SecureCloud account.
Mylio itself can’t access backed-up data remotely through its own systems and the company promises that all information about users and media uploaded by them “will never be used for advertising, AI training, or sold to third parties.”
Another aspect of SecureCloud’s data protection is more practical concerns involving data organization: Mylio has designed the software to preserve all media organization and metadata while moving files back and forth between the cloud and devices.
This lets data libraries stay organizationally intact regardless of where or how they’re uploaded and downloaded.
Constant Data Access Across All Devices
Much as is the case with Mylio Photos (except for its lack of cloud storage), Mylio SecureCloud lets users store and upload all kinds of media formats. These include documents, photos, videos and other media in a single library.
This library can be accessed from any other device regardless of whether it’s running Windows, iOS, Android, or macOS.
Offline Media Access is also easy via SecureCloud in combination with Mylio Photos+. Thanks to the Optimized media abilities of Mylio Photos.
This combination lets users access compressed versions of synced documents, presentations, images and photos from anywhere, SecureCloud offers the same media for offline viewing.
High-Speed Search
Mylio also offers a range of search options for photos and other media.
Users can look for whatever they need from their library via keyword search, AI SmartTags, localized, privacy-conscious face detection, modification and upload dates, ratings and even via OCR or Optical Character Recognition.
Using the above, Mylio’s Dynamic Search tool opens everything in a SecureCloud library to being found in as little as a couple of seconds.
Easily finding things can apply to nearly anything, including specific snippets of text inside photos or documents, images of natural objects, the faces of people, and the forms of different animal types among other things.
Impressive Speed and Fast Data Recovery
Mylio SecureCloud is powered behind the scenes by Backblaze, one of the world’s most secure and robustly developed cloud backup providers.
Thanks to this partnership, sync and upload are smooth and fast in almost any context, and user data is kept protected regardless of its volume or complexity.
In the case of photographers and video archivists, SecureCloud, working through Backblaze will keep their high-resolution media clean and firmly free of data corruption.
SecureCloud also includes a range of data recovery options for rapidly restoring media in cases of local storage failure.
By having identical and frequently synced versions of files inside SecureCloud, a user can stop worrying about the loss of a laptop or the failure of a hard drive.
Finally, Mylio SecureCloud is also awesomely affordable, even by the standards of the highly competitive cloud backup and storage market.
SecureCloud backup plans start off at just $11.98 for a hefty 2TB of storage that is enough for thousands of photos or documents and hundreds of videos.
Subscribers to an existing Mylio Photos+ account can activate Mylio SecureCloud at any time right within their Mylio Photos desktop or mobile app.
Mylio is currently even offering free, personalized setup and backup consulting sessions to Mylio Photos subscribers to guide them on the best options for their storage, organization, curation and backup needs.
Why All Of This is Important
As many photographers and data archivists can attest, finding a cloud backup solution that offers user-friendly organization tools, integration with photo management software, AND full, robust privacy and encryption integration is extremely difficult (It really is, and let’s not even mention Google, which actively pries into anything you upload).
Mylio’s SecureCloud solution, working with Mylio Photos, actually delivers all of the above and that’s genuinely unique in the world of cloud backup solutions with a focus on data organization.
Having it all available for less than $12 per 2 TB is downright wonderful. I say this from years of personal experience and frequent disappointment with many, many different cloud backup platforms.
