MYLIO vs Photos

I am trying to test Mylio. I would like to know when you install Mylio on my MAC Mini and it “imports” my Apple photos into Mylio. Is Mylio making a duplicate of my Apple photos so it is doubling my space? Ie my Apple photos are 100 photos, then Mylio imports and I have 100 photos (same ones) in Mylio also thereby using twice the space?

i have reached out to Mylio but IMO their support especially for a potential customer is subpar and not as helpful as Apple where you can speak and share.

i also know you can “link” Mylio but when I go to Finder to point to a Folder Apple will not allow me to do this.

can you help?

iMac 27″, OS X 10.10

It certainly does when importing from Apple's legacy applications, iPhoto and Photos. I'm not sure about Photos, though. But a little trial and error will tell you a lot.

If you are testing the app can I suggest you import and explore with s batch of photos - maybe 500 or so, and see if it does what you want it to do. Mylio is a very good app in a lot of ways and well worth considering.
