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 seem to have this...Submitted by Berko on February 28, 2006 - 7:28am.
I seem to have this weird desire to keep my life's history indexed on my computer. I want everything accessible to Spotlight and Quicksilver, and I want every document I might ever need to be right at hand. I download every episode of my favorite TV shows. Until TB hard drives make it to Apple's laptop line, I am stuck living in "Oh, shit, my hard drive is almost full again. What can I delete/archive to DVD or FTP?" I end up doing this two or three times a month. Has anyone tried CDFinder? It seems like it might be the solution to this issue of wanting it all indexed but not wanting it all taking up the space. » POSTED IN:
