Started this process. Thank you so much for the starter file because I didn't know where to start with creating filed, LOL. I see this process taking some time but being so valuable in the long run. Thank you so much for this video also since I am not so tech savvy so I watched in 2 times, started the process and went back and watched it again. Love all your content!!

The power toys add on and the shortcuts hack are HUGE GAME CHANGERS!! Literally changed my digital life as I have been beefing up my image collection lately. The file structure you created is an AMAZING BONUS!!

[KathiTate]

Excellent training! Very clear and easy to follow. Also appreciate that you demonstrate for both Mac and PC users. You are a pro!

Thank you for this video Jennifer. Timely as I'm getting ready to reorganize my digital clutter.

[christinestevens]

Thank you, Jennifer! I have been so overwhelmed with all of my files that I have just stopped crafting. This has truly helped me to simplify my files for easier use.

Exactly what I thought, learned lots from Jennifer on organizing my files. Found out I save using the library style, but didn't know about having a duplicate file in other folders using shortcut ( alias on a Mac) method rather than a second copy of original file. Thanks so much Jennifer.

The shortcut tip was worth the price of admission! I have 30+ years of design files and half of them were duplicate (or triplicates!!) to fit different categories.
Thanks so much…You Rock! 🌟

[pixie.dust.parkhopper]

You must have been in my head yesterday! I was looking at my mess of downloads and thought oh well eventually my computer will just stop working because of all the junk. Now I’m going to rewatch this video until I figure out how to clean up my downloads!! Thank you Jennifer!

One thing not mentioned, is that people should be categorizing commercial use and free use, and keeping track of where they are purchasing their files. This is for our protection. We don't want to sell an item that requires a license that we don't own.

[cicelylambert]

Jennifer how did you know I needed this? LOL! I worked on organizing my files yesterday on my iMac and had a few stumbles. A few minutes into the video you answered some of my most stubborn questions! Thank you!! ❤

[juliegpickwick]
