Do you keep everything in “downloads” or have file trees 100 folders deep?

Downloads folder is a free-for-all; things get properly sorted when they’re moved onto the NAS - there is a seperate network drive for Multimedia (videos), Applications, Photos, etc. Each of those are then usually nested by Alphabetical folder.
I don’t have the energy or the patience so the *arr stack organizes everything for me automatically. Not 100 levels deep, maybe a dozen or so at most, but very clean and tidy.
And more importantly, how do you back up your important stuff?
File trees 100 folders deep but entirely in Downloads of course
100% of everything is on the desktop. No borders no boundaries to divide the working class programs against themselves
Before even looking, I could tell you were from .ml. Stand strong, comrade!
I sort things every once in a while but eventually lose interest or patience. Would be nice to have a way to do it automatically. I suppose llms could help there, but I’m not sure if they’re quite there yet in terms of reliability.
- downloads clear themselves out after 30 days
- documents has all my projects and shit
- pictures/videos has my processed stuff
- larger (slower) hard drive has my raw video and photos
- desktop has nothing, I haven’t used desktop icons in 10 years
Well whenever I want to keep track of an important document, I put AAA or 000 in front of the title. And then I make several copies. And then I make multiple folders intending to organize things. And then I wind up with 30 separate docs folders yet all my documents end up in the general My Documents, Downloads, or Desktop folders instead.
Everything Everywhere All at Once
I have mine set up in groups, per hard drive.
Documents is set up for projects. Downloads gets grouped every few months and turned into a backup downloads folder on the backup hard drive.
So it goes from C:/Downloads into H:/Backups/Downloads/Downloads-11-19-2024
Every other hard drive is mostly just games, so it’s set up by project and the Games with whichever launcher.
I don’t have many projects that go more than 6 folders deep, most would be 4 at most
Your question made me curious, so I counted: the subdirectories in my home directory reach a maximum of 26 levels deep.
You gotta up those numbers!

It goes to the Desktop, when the Desktop is full I delete everything that looks unimportant 👍
thanks, I hate it
It’s a good way to do it.
or have file trees 100 folders deep?
I’m felling personally attacked.
Either that or folders that are too big to load.
When you are a Digital Hoarder like me, is both.
Organize?
