Now that’s all set up, you have somewhere for all your images to live and a central place to organise them in. (Create all the monthly folders within one year and then copy and paste all those albums into the other yearly folders).
To give you a quick overview, you are going to be organising all your images by Year > Month > Eventġ – Set-up a main folder called Photos on your Digital Photo HubĢ – Next up, create yearly albums for as far back as you have photos to organise. (You can see below that I have folders from 2015 until the present).ģ – Within those yearly albums create monthly albums. Now that you have a hard drive / main storage home (your Digital Photo Hub) for all your digital images and videos, the next step is to set up folders to organise all of your images into.
Organise photos portable#
I love the combination of having a portable hard drive/s and cloud-based back up working together. If you have years worth to go through, 4TB or larger would be suitable.Īlternatively, look into an online backup service like DropBox which is a great tool but can be more expensive than a hard drive option as it has a yearly fee. Go and buy yourself a hard drive that you can use to start organising all your images. The reason that I don’t back up on my actual computer hard drive is that I don’t want to clog it up and make it run slow having thousands of images stored on it. Some other great options online / cloud-based options are DropBox or Mylio which I have heard some great things about. I have had lots of issues with Seagate drives in the past so I no longer use those. I personally use Western Digital drives and have not had any issues with them so far.

This means if everything was lost at home I still have a cloud-based backup that I can use to restore all my files. Use can use my link to try Backblaze free for a month. Let’s call it my Digital Photo Hub.Ģ – I then have smaller yearly hard drives (2-4TB in size) that I use per year for personal and client photo storage.ģ – I use a cloud backup service called BackBlaze that runs in the background of my computer and continually backs up all my hard drives and computer content every day.
This is my central drive that houses everything. I have a minimum of three backups and these are both hard copy backups and cloud backups.ġ – Main main large home hard drive (8TB in size). The best method of backup is going to be very different for everyone but here is what I do. This is where a backup system comes into play. First up before you can get stuck into organising your images, you need somewhere to actually give them a central home so they can all live in one place.
