> Nowadays, the smartphone took over: click, ok nice picture, click click, and shared! It's nice and practical but now my picture collection of the past few years is a bloated and unorganized stream of nice and bad pictures mixed with of paper document copies and other random stuff I no longer care about. Um, ok. Did the tech do that to you? I download my iPhone photos to my desktop every 2-3 months. I then organize them into folders by events (loosely). Names like 2022-02-08 Mom's Birthday 2022-02-13 2022-02-14 Valentine's Day Dinner 2022-02-20 It takes only 10-20 minutes. The folders with only the date are basically uncategorized photos from the date of the previous folder to the date on that folder. (eg, 2022-02-13 holds random phots from 2022-02-09 to 2022-02-13) It sounds like you stopped doing that. I didn't. So I'm not sure why you think the phone made you stop rather that you just deciding to stop and me not deciding to stop. Note: I also auto sync all my phone photos to Google Photos but I only use that for easy access, not for backup.
