Re:Ask HN: How you manage files on your computer? by dlahoda on Friday February 23, 2018 @07:41AM (#16445948)
I have files which only I have access to and files which are shared with small group of people and public internet files. `Private`, `Shared`, `Public`.

Files may be my own work or others work. I cannot allow to loos my files. `Created, Copy`.

Files may be text like small live with history demanded or large infrequently changed with no history needed. `Text, Binary`.

I can eat files in different forms. 'Audio, Image, Text, Interactive, Video`

I may maintain `Blob, Link` s.

I may have files which are `Encrypted, NotEncrypted`.

I may have files for different kinds of work or parts of my persona `Red, Black, White, Gray`

I may use files `Often, Seldom`

I may be source of files or consumer. `Read, Write`.

I could add more, but better to stop and count.

I am noob in math, but guess I may have:

3 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 2 * 4 * 2 * 2 = 1920 kinds of folders.

So my file organization is choosing on of 1920 options to name the folder and put files. Some times name is hierarchical. E.g. `/private/encrypted/`
