Oysters Autobio posted:resurrecting to quote this because im seriously at a loss and too embarassed to ask anyone how to actually organize my file drive docs or actually get windows search to be able to search my docs. https://www.voidtools.com/ combined with https://www.easyduplicatefinder.com/. the interface of the latter has been dumbed down which sucks, i would love an expert mode. it has a music fingerprint mode but that’s not very good. i still want something that can find similar jpgs with different resolutions/crops. for photos there is only one way that works: dir with year as name and subdirs with year-month-day containing photos. prune early and often because doing it later is more painful, especially with family pictures. i despise lightroom or bridge or whatever adobe poo poo trying to be smarter than a hierarchical fs. for music i use first letter folder containing artist - albumname containing mp3s/flac which are selfcontained naming wise, but retroactively tagging your music is a poo poo job. some people give a poo poo about the year it was released, i don’t. important thing is to keep your folders as shallow as possible. use partitions to separate roughly by category so music is on the music drive, documents are on the docs drive, and so on. only time real depth is allowed is when you have a node_modules . google drive just makes everything unfindable. just get a synology and dump to glacier. hope you never need it.

SO DEMANDING posted:
it's late 90s windows poo poo because when c:\ goes down i had no second computer to plop it in to flatten and reinstall. but partition is the wrong name for what my nas does which is basically faking a top level dir. either way it shows up as a different network drive which is a Good Thing because that means you don't have to commit to a certain size like w/ actual partitions, and you can't easily gently caress poo poo up (you can still gently caress poo poo up but the blast radius is smaller)
