Guidelines or Tips for Project and Folder Structure

[gregssvr]

Hello,

My team's workspace is getting rather large and I'm wondering if we have our files and folders organized in the most efficient manner.

If anyone could share some lessons-learned so that I don't have to go through trial and error that would be great. Failing that, any resources that provide more information on the project/folder structure would be helpful as well.

Personally the Projects idea in Fusion do not work for me at all! If you have one or 2 projects a year it might be ok but 2 or 3 a month or week and it just doesn't work. You just end up with hundreds of projects and all you can do is archive some and have some active but managing them with only those two options is a nightmare.

What I've done is create one project then a folder for each customer then a subfolder for each job and subfolders for projects within project. This works pretty much like the top level project is a drive with subfolders. The only drawback is you can't share a folder, you can only share projects. If I might need to share a project I create one for the job while I'm working on it and when the project's finished and I no longer need to share I move it to a folder within my project I described above.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply. I've been asking myself the exact same question and find it very curious there are no options to organise projects into folders. At least now I know I'm not missing something. You'd think that a piece of software that forces you to live in the cloud would at least offer a decent way of organising things in the cloud, but alas.

Cheers,

Jérôme
