How to manage your files and folders: best practices?

  • Hi all, let's say I have 1 HDD with movies, music and photos. I want to manage the files and folders from my workstation. I think there are two options:
    1. Make a main share/folder ("/storage"), mount that share on the workstation and then create 3 folders (movies, music, photos) and sub folders. Advantage is that I need only 1 mount point to my workstation.
    2. Make 3 shares/folders and mount them individually to the workstation. I think this is cleaner because you don't create an extra top level folder (storage). Downside is that I don't see the complete HDD from one file list on my workstation.


    What is common practice in this situations?


    Thanks, Ralph

  • I use option 2. When you make a New folder for a other user or program you dont need the same rights.
