I've given up on sorting my enormous hoard of duplicate photos. At some point, Dropbox/GDrive/OneDrive/etc. will offer a deduplication feature and I'll move them on there. Local programs like Visipics or Duplicate Annihilator just can't do the job on my underpowered hardware. At the moment, I just keep my past couple years' worth of photos on GDrive for viewing through G+ Photos. Ebooks are far and away best sorted with Calibre. It's not as intuitive as I'd like (does anyone know how to combine multiple formats under one title, or the key command to search your books?), but it's the only viable way to maintain your library. OneNote is PERFECT for personal notes and projects. Project management is best outsourced to Trello, in my experience. I'm a fanatic of both. For non-personal data, I've forced my wife to keep pictures of purses and whatever on Pinterest rather than on her local HDD (where she would never view them again). Likewise, articles I want to read are best saved to Pocket, where viewing, archiving, and deleting are dead simple. And of course, Kindle is a great place to buy and sync commercial ebooks. My whole life is moving online, and I fully expect everything I have will be stored and presented through online services in five years or less.
