You either need to do some digging and tweak where files automatically appear, or simply remember to move them each time they’re added.
MYLIO MOVING FILES ON DISK ARCHIVE
One of the complications encountered when attempting to unify an archive is that some software programs - operating systems in particular - tend to have already decided that certain folders are the best place for your files. If you currently have your images split between a desktop computer and a laptop, and with insufficient room on either to contain all of your images, it’s probably time to invest in an external drive (details coming up!).Įven if you think you might not need all of the additional space offered by an extra drive once you’ve finished sorting out your duplicates and rejects, you can still make good use of that drive as a backup. This step might mean having to rethink your photo storage. Backups work best when they are consistent and automated, and this process is far simpler once your images have been brought together - and renamed (see below). Not only will this make it easier to manage, but also far easier to back up. One of the most important initial steps in taking control of your archive is to gather it into one single location.
Given that the number of devices we use seems to increase by the year, it’s easy to find yourself in a situation where your digital images are spread across multiple different locations, making any sense of order almost impossible.
