When first setting up a filing system, establish categories to place all other files and folders in. Then, within each of those umbrella folders, you can place other items accordingly.

It can be overwhelming to organize thousands of files, but there are tools to help you. Move all of them from one year into their own folder. If you like, create subfolders for each month or quarter. If you need to rename a lot of files, there are apps for bulk file renaming , some of which are free.
Then you can add details to file names, such as the year. If you have too many year folders, you can always create a folder titled Archive for folders from more than a few years ago. Tell your organization how to organize digital files.
Make it easy for your coworkers to name files correctly and save them in the right place. Make sure everyone knows to back up their files regularly. If people must save files on their computers, make sure they save a backup copy. You might excel at organizing digital files, but others might not, so try not to stress about it. Schedule recurring file maintenance time to move misplaced files—and gently explain to people what the correct location is. Or designate someone on your team as the go-to person for all file-organizing questions.
