I have about 4TB of completely unsorted files in my archive; music, videos, documents, pictures (around a TB of pictures alone), program data, settings files, ROMs, sources, etc.
What's the best way to organize and catalog all of this stuff? It's to the point where I'll know exactly the image I want to post but it'll take on average five minutes to actually find it from memory (based on it's vague location in relation to other images going by thumbnails, that's IF I remember which folder it's in, and there are at least 20 that have a GB or more worth of images.)
Took a couple addies and a cup of tea now I'm ready to get this shit done
How do I do it? Is there any literature on the subject? It's such a massive task.

I'm curious to know this too. Here's what I have currently on my NAS, OP
>[user folder]
>>Documents
>>Photos
>Public
>>Audio
>>>Audiobooks
>>>Music
>>>Podcasts
>>Readings
>>>Articles
>>>Magazines
>>>eBooks
>>Video
>>>Movies
>>>Shows

Readings is good, I know I wanted to separate Documents as in things I've done from stuff like magazine articles, books, news clippings etc but I couldn't think of the right word.
In general I guess my problem is I want deeper classification so it's easy to find specific files but I can't think of a good way to do it

What exactly are those videos?

Just make a tree of folders. Every folder should have no more than like 20 files or folders inside of it.

>>55869491
Are you implying that's a big number?
>>
>>55869491
60% porn, 20% 4k videos from my S6/7, 20% old episodes of the Computer Chronicles

sounds about right

what about Photos?
>>
>>55870035
Was going to put personal photos in Documents, although I'll admit it'll be pretty hard to put some generic stock image of a tree in a specific movement within the art of photography, so I may actually put all photos in images, thanks.
