Keeping digital photos organized is important because it helps you easily find and share your favorite memories with friends and family. It also saves you time and prevents frustration from having to sift through a disorganized mess of photos. By organizing your digital photos, you can create a personal archive that you can enjoy for years to come.

Tip #1: Create & Implement a Specific Filing System

It’s important to carefully name and date your folders and photos to keep them
organized and easily searchable. This will save you time and frustration in the long run.

Tip #2: Make a Habit of Uploading to Cloud Storage

There are numerous options to upload to cloud storage, each with different storage
capacities and associated costs. Users can choose the one that best suits their needs and budget. Uploading photos into the cloud is a simple way to ensure that your files are safely stored and easily accessible from any device. By doing so, you can prevent the risk of losing your precious memories or important documents. The cloud offers a
convenient and reliable solution for backing up your data, giving you peace of mind and freeing up valuable storage space on your devices.

Tip #3: Keep a Backup on an Accessible External Drive
It’s a good idea to buy a physical hard drive to download and store your photos. This will help maintain plenty of storage space on your computer/phone, and you should keep the hard drive in an accessible location for easy access. It’s also recommended to create a backup of your hard drive to ensure that your photos are safe in case of any unexpected events.

When organizing digital photos, it’s important to start by decluttering and deleting duplicates, then create a system of folders and tags that is easy to follow and maintain. Consistency is key, and it’s helpful to set aside regular time for photo organization to avoid getting overwhelmed in the future. I try to go through my photos when I find myself waiting at an appointment or even when blow drying my hair instead of scrolling through social media.
