- A concise guide by Andrés Díaz on organizing your cloud in 15 minutes using simple, practical rules.

- Step 1: Create a base structure with 3–5 main folders (Documents, Projects, Photos, Media, Others) and focused subfolders to keep a flat, searchable hierarchy.

- Step 2: Use a consistent naming convention (example formats: YYYY-MM-DD_Description_Version.ext or Description_Version.ext) and avoid spaces/special characters.

- Step 3: Add tags and brief metadata to improve searchability; use keywords in descriptions and consider a distinction between work and personal.

- Step 4: Enable selective syncing to prevent device clutter; sync essential folders only and create shortcuts for frequently used items.

- Step 5: Follow the 3-2-1 backup rule, enable two-factor authentication, review sharing permissions regularly, and schedule monthly security checks.

- Step 6: Do quick 15-minute cleanups to remove duplicates and obsolete files, archive final versions, and verify the Recent folder.

- Step 7: Organize by file type to separate work from personal and prevent mixing documents, images, PDFs, etc.

- Step 8: Build a daily five-minute habit to archive new items with correct names, placements, and tags to prevent future clutter.

- Step 9: Use templates for a base layout (e.g., Documents/Office/Invoices, Projects/ClientX, Photos/Personal/Year, Media/Audio) with short descriptive guides for collaboration.

- Step 10: Reflect on whether strict naming, folder structure, or tags is easiest to implement; consider assigning team members to maintain the structure for a period.

- Overall message: organizing the cloud reduces anxiety, boosts clarity and productivity, and is achievable in under 15 minutes; you can start now and stay guided.
