You're not alone. Most people I know don't even sort their files into directories anymore, they just search for it (particularly in cloud storages like Google Drive).

In fact, when I took the introductory computer engineering course at my HS, the teacher made everyone sort their Google Drive files as an assignment.

I just found out that people use search on thier computers to find files and have no idea where anything is located. It hurts just thinking about it.

And paradoxically they refuse to use search engines to find anything on the Internet.

I completely lost control of my folder structure after keeping all my old backups (before i had a network storage) on HDDs and later copying them over as Backup-Pc-X, Backup-Pc-Y, etc. I should clean up since years. But hey, so far the search worked :D

That I can understand. I have a folder on desktop I dump everything into that's loose to sweep under the rug. Desktop23. Desktop22, etc. And these folders go back years on my external drive. They will not be organized ever.

But I have the feeling you understand where things are supposed to go. The people I'm talking about have zero idea what's in thier computer.

I have been ill this year and as I am pretty limited in what I can do, I am finally sorting stuff properly. It is just that I usually don't delete anything. Every time I change a device I dump stuff based on file type on folders either on cloud, device or external HDD thinking I will come back to it. Instead, I never come back. And because of my work, a bunch of stuff is pretty depressive so sorting a decade of files and images I would want to forget feels impossible. But I am making a dent.

Digital detritus = SO not important. … i mean RELATIVELY. Trust me.

Go live your life, insofar as you are able to, friend :-)

Find an actual sharing group like #BuyNothingProject or #ToolLendingLibrary or something crew to kick it with.

or https://shareable.net for reading (been ages since I checked it).

Even worse that Windows search is slow as hell, can't imagine the time wasted

How do they find anything on the internet without using a search engine? (I used to love Stumble Upon!)

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

They ask other people in forums, and wait for an answer.

What the fuck is wrong with people, first cutlery just being flung in a drawer any which way, now apparently files just go wherever it's all a cloud or whatever anyway isn't it

Same, my first semester we had a course litterally about creating word and excel documents, how to format text etc... in a software engineering program. Or other example, (2nd year, 2nd semester of the year on a 3 year program) last semester, we had a semester team project that we had to give at the end. At first, I litterally had tell them how to commit changes to the github repo, because they only did it though the web UI. How they got this far into the program I honestly have no clue as we litterally had a course in the first year that had a few classes dedicated for proper git usage
