I must mention I have ADHD which makes this even harder to deal with.

  • Phone 1: 16/16 GB
  • Phone 2: 128/128 GB
  • Desktop PC: 464/464 GB
  • Laptop: also full.
  • Flash drive: 70/128 GB but I stopped using it because it rarely works due to my phone storage being too full for it to be able to load into the phones memory..

Then I also have some external hard drives 512 GB which I also store stuff on.

Now the problem is I have alot of different devices which I store stuff on... and its completely unorganized, its a total chaotic mess. My photos and videos and apps and things are all over the place. I struggle to find anything I need, cause which device is it on? And also I have alot of duplicates of files across my devices.

Almost all of my devices are full and even if I move stuff to external drives, its only a matter of days before the device is full again. Sometimes even within 1 day.

Plus I don't even know how to make a proper backup.

When my phone is at 128/128 once again, the camera app refuses to let me take a photo. By now I've found a workaround: I open the camera app and instead of clicking a photo, I take a screenshot because the camera app still shows me stuff through the camera. Well this only shows how badly my stituation has gotten out of hand.

Save me from this mess, how can I manage my digital stuff better?
