I wrote my own filesyncing software and am slowly using it to move more and more files to a fully replicated set of computers at home + a single VPS because I'm a god drat psychopath.

qirex posted:number 1 protip for maintaining your photo library is to delete the non-good pictures so it stays a manageable size lol ironically, I’ve spent time going thru photo sets that were good and trimming them, but sets that were average or just random, I haven’t put the time and don’t have the inclination, so they end up taking up far more space unfortunately and realistically overall I don’t have the motivation to trim out the non good ones (99% of my photos), so I am just trying to find a way to mirror all of them. far less effort and much more in tune with my life ethos

Raluek posted:lol if your phone isnt full of inscrutable close-up pictures of stuff you were working on or part numbers  I use an actual camera for most photos I might want to keep, and then review and edit the good ones. Those go into an organized backed-up gallery, the other RAW files get dumped somewhere in case I decide to zoom-enhance them with future AI later.

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:don't they? or maybe they did but not anymore. it rings a bell but i can't remember the name at all you're probably thinking of lightsail, the version of ec2 that costs more and has an actual UI https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/ that's for web hosting tho, nothing in cloud storage that's simplified. although there's plenty of third party apps that use s3 and glacier as a backend

my college was giving alumni unlimited Google Drive storage so I was just using that as bulk storage for junk like timelapse photo sets and uncompressed nerd videos. Today I discovered thanks to Google putting a stop to unlimited they're now limiting me to 1.25 TB i managed to get under by deleting a bunch of .tars of stuff I already had up there extracted need to find a new solution. seems like also offer 2 TB of onedrive. why they have buth google drive and onedrive idk, but I'm not going to question it

Oysters Autobio posted:resurrecting to quote this because im seriously at a loss and too embarassed to ask anyone how to actually organize my file drive docs or actually get windows search to be able to search my docs. the trick is to organise it as you go and build it in a way that makes sense to you. don't just throw things into a folder on the desktop and then drag it to D:\ when you move onto something else. it's fine for it to be huge and sprawling as long as it's all sensibly named and obvious where things go. don't end up with D:\Stuff\Old\New Folder (2)\Backup - Copy\2009\Photos 2015\New Folder\

it also really depends on what the documents are and how many you have and how often you add new ones and how you use them and a whole bunch of other things. it might be you don't even have to organize them. one thing that's apparently a huge time saver for people who get tons of emails every day (suckers) is to not file them in some folder hierarchy or anything like that: just dump everything in the same folder and use search when you need something instead
