How I organise my files in 2017

You can design your file structure!
This is how I organise mine in 2017.

Backwards dates 'YYYY—MM—DD' for easy reordering.

I no longer use version numbers like '_v3' and I havent used prefixes like 'Final', 'Copy' or 'final_final' for many many years. (*judging eyes* to those that do).

Older files go into an 'Archive' folder with the most current item at the top level. Output files (if you dont use InVision or Zeplin) are in numbered folders.

The only other addition is some projects have internal job codes that I would place before the project name in the main folder name and project files.

Enjoy.
