Hello.

I do a lot of different projects each year, and each one goes into its own folder on my active drive. Then, everytime at Christmas I clear all of my inactive projects onto my archive drive. Every folder goes into something like 2023, 2024 etc.

If I want to find something specific, It isn't that hard, since I only have a few years of data. And there is always the Everything tool.

But what if I forget the name of the project or file, and I would have 20 different years? It would get very hard quickly.

I thought about just using shortcuts to important stuff, but what If I switch to Linux (which I am planning to do), or what If I change drives etc.

Projects

Example year

This example year has some subfolders, which group projects together.

What would you guys do? Is there some folder organizing software?

I would want to be able to find for example all IT projects from each year (IT is a common subfolder in each year), or stuff like that.

Thank you!

Edit: Same with my photos. I store them by year, and then subfolders for each specific occasion. How would you manage that?
