HDD Folder oranization
enine | Feb 21 2006
How is everyone organizing their electronic data? I started out years ago with MS Outlook and hit the 2G limit early on so I ended up having to archive data monthly which resulted in a folder structure based around monthly archives like this: 2006 So I started following this structure and would store other files such as bank statements, pictures, invoices, etc in those folders. Problem now is finding anything I have to wait for a search to crawl through all those folders or remember when I did something or have some sort of index to it. I usually end up just hunting through the various years and months looking for what I want rather than keeping an index up to date so I'm looking for better suggestions as to how to organize inportant files. 25 Comments

Thats what I'm kind of leaning back toward. and organize by items inside but I'm still not sure on how to easily find things. Maybe I'll look into some Linux desktop search programs but ideally I'd like to have things organized to where I don't need to do a search. » POSTED IN:
