For me, it's usually Downloads.

Thousands of screenshots, random PDFs, ZIP files, invoices, images, and files named things like:

final_v2_FINAL_really_final.pdf

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts

How do you currently organize files across multiple projects when they're scattered across OneDrive, network drives, and local folders? Or do you just not?

Curious how other people handle this. I'm working on 3-4 projects at once (engineering consultant) and my files are everywhere, some PDFs in OneDrive, Excel sheets on my desktop, CAD files on a network drive. I spend way too much time just finding things.

Do you have a system that actually works? Or is everyone else also just navigating deep folder trees 10 times a day and pretending it's fine?
