How do you organize your footage/pics?

VenomXts · May 29, 2020

So I have been getting into shooting with a Air 2 and my mini for the better part of this year.... I have started to gather a lot of pictures and raw video and while I use some to do some thing I really am curious how you guys all store and organize your media so you can consume./edit it later?
App's, theories, examples are appreciated.

I started storing by date, but that didn't really work out. The way I store now is by place name. With sub directories of video, still and timelapse. All sorted by date within the folders.

I store the raw footage on one drive on my PC, and the work in progress / finished articles on an SSD in my PC.

Everything is backed up automatically once a day to a standalone storage drive on my network.

Editing for videos is with Adobe Premiere Pro and stills (I rarely take them to be honest) would be with Photoshop.

I use a similar method to Greekislandlover
Store everything on external hard drives in folders relevant to the subject,for example one called Lakes then inside that I have separate folders for video & stills.
Projects I am working on are saved to my PC in a similar manner.
If it’s important save to at least 2 different physical drives.

Store all my raw files on an external NAS that is backed up nightly. Never remove from my cards until I am sure backup is successful. If I am on the road copy from cards to laptop and then upload from laptop to NAS when internet is available. Again do not delete from card till sure NAS has been backed up.

Files are stored by
