I would like to push back on a few things. 1. Numbered folders are awful. It locks you into an order and if you need to insert a new item at spot 02 you either have to rename everything or go down the 02a_name rabbit hole. This also makes things a nightmare if you try to `cd` around, but that's more of a cli power user problem. 2. Cloud storage is NOT a backup. A. You have little control over the history of the files, and more importantly B. you have almost no control over the account. You loose the account, you loose the data. Back up your cloud data. 3. I do appreciate you coming close to ISO8601 for naming folders, your's is a little off, but it accomplishes the spirit of ISO8601
Hey Daniel, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! I agree with you, if you know you’re going to add folders later in between, it might be better to use 10_ … 20_ and then you can always add 11_ etc. I didn’t go this route because most my folders don’t change much and if there’s a new one to add, the order mostly doesn’t matter for me. Also, I agree with cloud storage not being a backup. I also backup my files on physical hard drives from time to time. I might have missed to mention that in the video. Anyways, hope the video was still helpful and you got some value🙏
Hey thanks for the comment. I agree, that’s of course also always an option to use a NAS as your personal cloud. Of course it’s some upfront investment, but cheaper in the long term.
If your devices are frequently online, then Syncthing is a great option. Doesn't need a server as it's decentralized file sharing from one device to another.
