I have short films, projects that never got made, personal photos, ones of friends, clients, old family ones … i do some writing and store different documents. I want to have a Mari Kundo type hard drive.

Do you guys have any tips? Or some industry standard I’m not aware of?

    for personal… card dumps are dated. Ideally they are separated by events and the folder named appropriately. I remember places and events more than dates. I ALWAYS include the date in folder names as attributes can change. eg 'Photos - Tasmania Trip 2022.02 (year first for sort order)

    for work… similar but Job number, customer name and date - this worked well for a lab

    vid, pics in separate sub folders and ‘selected’ in another folder, usually RAW output only.

    I recently digitized and archived my entire collection… and my parents. Duped and backed up. It feels so good!
