Biz file directory

Stop wasting hours of time searching for information by creating an organized file and folder structure. Imagine walking into a grocery store. Now imagine that there are no sections, no aisles, and no organization. Not only does this reduce frustration, but it also boosts your productivity and efficiency. There is no magical formula for the perfect folder structure.

Each business is different, so your file structure should reflect how your specific business and employees work. Keep in mind that a good file structure should work for everyone in your organization, not just you.

Your ultimate goal is to create a logical hierarchy that gives every file a home, making things easy to find and impossible to lose. Shared cloud storage can be a good option too. Keep your business folders for business. One of the most effective ways to organize your files is by category. Again, think of the grocery store. Foods are organized into sections like produce, dairy, packaged foods, etc.
