How can I organize large amounts of folders, files, and data?

Question

The folders would be machines by location and names. With part numbers, location of parts, pictures, and text documents.

Answer 1

You have to first envision a plan or schema, deciding on the criteria for your master folders and sub folder hierarchy. This can be done on paper or electronically. Next, the containers, or applications for your actual files needs to list your data. Most likely this can be done in Microsoft Excel, or, depending on complexity, Microsoft Access or SQL server. Last, it's a matter of storing the files in the correct locations in your heirarchy.
