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

I recently purchased an Intel Mac mini, and I'm in the midst of tagging everything. Once I'm done with that, I'll move most of my files directly into the ~/Documents folder. The only exceptions will be eBooks in HTML format, which require various nested folders. (Unless, of course, I could find an app to convert them to PDF format...) » POSTED IN:
