[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1828873, member: 110816"] While there are apps that might help with this, most will just show you the files in the locations you've saved them. To that end, simplify the process and come up with something that works for you. For example, I use the following "rules": - Nothing stored on Desktop (ever!) - All of my documents (Word, PDF, XLSX, etc.) go into Documents under folders that allow me to group them and find them in the future - All of my pictures (and videos too) go into Pictures under folders - I use the Downloads folder as a place for all of my downloads either from the browser or otherwise. This is meant to be a temporary holding place. If I'm installing an app, once installed, I delete the installer or DMG/PKG file unless I need to save that for any reason. Other files that fall into the broad categories above get moved to the appropriate folders. I follow these rules for all of my files stored on iCloud and Box. With this, I end up with just a handful of places to search for files and the format makes sense to me. [/QUOTE]
