What about you digital folk? My current way is just a folder with the event name and sub folders for RAW and JPG on my desktop.

Considering upping my GDrive amount and storing on there as a backup too.

On backups, skim this >>2866625 if you haven't already.
On file organization, I started out with
<top-level>/year/month/day/event with subfolders for raws and WIP, and never had a compelling reason to change. I suspect that consistency is more important that the actual structure.

i have them by category (portrait, landscape, still life, etc) then by whatever event took place, all raws so i make a jpg folder when i edit

I think adobe has a way of doing it automatically via the meta data.

I do it manually by:

Year:
Location:
Session:

then a separate place for projects/portfolio

Digital folders alphabetically by the girl's name, with subfolders for each outfit/clothing. If it is a rare shot of something other than a girl, it goes in the miscellaneous folder, then descriptive subfolder.

My 'To Edit' and 'Photo Storage' drive is an internal 1TB drive (separate from the boot SSD), with a shortcut to the 'To Edit' folder on my desktop. My 'External Backup' is a 2TB external pocket sized drive USB'd to the computer as a redundancy drive. I have 'To Edit', 'Photo Storage', and 'External Backup' as favorites in Bridge. Once the 1TB internal gets full, I copy it to fill up half of a new external 2TB drive, swap out the 1TB internal, and pack up the old 2TB external and the old 1TB internal. That way, I have at least the original of every file on at least 2 drives at any given time, and I have ready access to the most recent 1-2TB of photos that I have taken.

I also have this one major client who I shoot about half of my shoots for, and they give me unlimited Google Drive storage for the time being, so their work gets triplicated. I also deliver a lot of jobs through Zenfolio, so that's another backup.

Got a script that takes a root folder, pulls exif data then moves the files into a folder structure sorted by year then month
