A quick recap of the video even before the intro. I am drooling! this is the opposite of every vlogger ever talking 15 minutes random stuff und explaining the video title in 30 seconds...

Great!

This video was very well done! Thank you for sharing your data management and storage techniques. I had a very similar technique that I was using and have supplemented it with some of the tips your provided in this video. Looking forward to more content from you @Blue Mantle Films!

Yes! This is great. I have been using my iCloud for now (2tb) but I know that it's not going to last forever and I need to come up with a better solution. I'm looking into the WB drives now. I have an older 1tb LaCie but it uses USB 2.0 and esata/firewire and all I have is the USB 2.0 with a USB-C adapter and the transfer speed is very slow. As a side note, how do you get the data from the Mavic 2 to your MacBook Pro? I have a mid 2018 and only have USB-C so I have just been using the provided cable and powering up the bird.

what type/manufacturer of portable drives do you recommend? SSD? size? thanks

Very helpful tips on organization! For storage devices have you looked into unRAID? It may help with scalability.

How did you make that dummy folder? I need that in my life.

hey man thanks for the videos. Can you tell me, on which plattforms do you upload your stockfootage. I do only shutterstock, but is there more you would recommend?

How do you make the dummy folder for structure If you have a hard disk loaded with a lot of projects?
Can you make a copy of all folders without files?
Or, create them manually on your Macbook desktop?
