You may have heard the phrase “home directories” in some capacity in enterprise tech. I have strongly felt your home for your files should live somewhere else not just your computer.
In modern computing since the beginning of the 21st Century, files are stored in a specific and systematic matter. The directory typically is in a matter of the physical disk, a folder, then a follow up folder such as your name or username or login handle, whatever phase works best
Hard Drive > Users > login handle
In your “home” is the following folders where you keep your digital belongings:
- Documents
- Desktop (the clutter on your background can be seen as a folder too)
- Downloads (most browsers know this is a preset folder and by default will automatically keep downloaded files into this folder
- Music (for iTunes and other music players)
- Movies (home video captures, etc.)
- Pictures (a landing pad for photos exported by any digital camera or smartphone)
