You'll need to transfer the files from the external hard drive to a computer that's running the Lyve app. For now, you cannot sync folders that are stored on an external hard drive, even if it's always connected to your computer. You can set up Lyve on as many computers and mobile devices as you want, and the service will organize all the photos together into a single library. For me, this is one of the best parts of Lyve, because I can view my entire thousand-plus collection of photos scattered across my two computers right from my phone, without downloading them or transferring the actual file from device to device. You can add new photos from your phone or tablet too - if you have the Lyve app installed, anything you record with the device's camera will automatically sync. That's because the app keeps a cache of the screen-optimized versions of the photos on your mobile device. Once the photos are synced, you'll be able to view them from the mobile apps, even without an Internet connection.
