Started organizing my photos & videos I have taken through the years, and here’s my planned method...
|
||
|
||
First up, I back up all raw files into separate directories per year in hard drives — I currently have two: a 128GB USB-C, which I can plug directly into my phone on the go, and a 2TB external hard drive for less-frequent accessed backups. This way, I am confident that I have copies of everything safely stored even if cloud services get nuked for some reason.
|
||
|
||
I will then curate and handpick my favorite items for significant moments (e.g., travels, events, parties), and create albums for them. These are the memories that matter to me; the ones I’d likely want to come back to and remember. Doing this reminds me of those family photo albums we used to keep around growing up.
|
||
|
||
These special albums are what I will then sync across devices using a cloud service. I use iCloud Photos (for now).
|
||
|
||
The idea is to be more intentional with the photos & videos I intend to keep close and share to friends & family.
|
||
|
||
Feel free to use this approach if your photo library could use a bit of tidying up. Cheers! 🍻
