Storage space and organization is always a challenge. My digital reference material is over 8 GB, and then all other files, High-res art files for printing, low-res art files for web, social media files to name a few. I have several external hard drives as to not bog down the hard drive on my PC. I even have secure cloud storage for my unedited hig res artfiles. Even with this it is sometimes hard to find what I am looking for. Ps. I am not a high-tech person although I frequently have to help my husband with online stuff, he doesn't even know how to share a file to his FB account.

Anna, Margie replying! Chris is the same but I am a photographer and I have so many external hard drives to store my photos! I have to help Chris with computer stuff but he can write and edit videos if I set it up for him!

How do you organize all your stuff? Do you go by date, or project, or place. I mean I have the original file, but it often needs to be edited which can be a quite time-consuming effort. Like I have the original file but then I have several edited versions with different resolutions and size for different purposes.
I didn't set up a logical system from the beginning since I had no clue how to do it. Chris is lucky to have you help him with this. Do you work together like you taking the photos and Chris using your photos for his work? I almost never had anyone to work with, so it has often been a trial-and-error journey. I did start early to save my artwork, so I have almost everything saved digitally. When I started, I saved them as transparencies. But they to deteriorate, but the then, nothing lasts forever.

The storage problem is real... we need technology to solve this one for us!

I think so too. To have my art digitally is definitely a great help. Perhaps it would be good to have some kind of program to help you organize all your files. or perhaps there is already such a program. I remember one of my photographer. Really a good, very professional person. He had walls full of CD's from all his customers. He saved everything.

I quite happily rely on the program "digiKam" as my mainstay image file wrangler. I've used it for years with my workflow.
