For home, I have a local nas that gets backed up to glacier with files mostly all in one folder with filenames prefixed with yyyy-mm-dd-topic-filename I used to have lots of subfolders but found that it was easier to just prefix with the date name and have everything flat so I can search in a single directory for things like the washing machine receipt from 8 years ago or whatnot. Then I have diary files with text descriptions that link to the docs. For work, I use obsidian with lots of notes in markdown notes linking to files with deep nesting structures for projects. I have more time to organize and work pays for OneDrive that seems to find things better in deep folders. I have a todo that I manually roll over from day to day to give me a chance to prune or revise. I have a standing wish to explore PARA or some more systematic organization scheme but for now just my own ad how structure works. No one else sees it.
