I am wondering what tools or system people are using to archive and organize their photos.
I have a lot of photos, but compared to many on this site, I think I have but a few.
Do you just keep buying more, successively larger hard drives?
How do you keep track of all of those files? Keywords, meta-tags, folders, collections?
Or do you have a great big virtual shoebox that you just throw all of your photos in?
My primary drive was running low on space (1TB drive). Most of the usage were from my photos. I off-loaded a year's worth to a secondary 2TB drive to free up some room. I copied them onto a second drive for safe keeping. I back up my main drive to the cloud (CrashPlan).
Terrified of a hard drive crash. I have had these as well as a bunch of old Canon CRW raw files that got corrupted.
I am terrible about indexing and organizing. Basically, folders by date.
Thanks!
