When people decide to start organizing their digital photo collections, their first instinct is often to jump in and start deleting photos they don’t want to keep. But this approach can quickly leave them feeling frustrated, unsure why they’re not making progress. That’s because clearing out unwanted photos is the final step in an effective photo organizing process—not the first!
The most common mistake people make in organizing digital photos is skipping the crucial first step: creating a Digital Photo Hub—a single location where all your digital photos and videos are gathered together.
Without a central location, organizing becomes a struggle as your photos are scattered across various devices, folders, and storage systems. If you can’t find your photos, you can’t organize them or securely protect them. That’s why establishing a Digital Photo Hub is such an important first step. Once everything is gathered in one place, it’s much easier to find, organize, and safeguard your entire collection.
