I have 3 main folders for work related stuff: Work in progress, Archive, For Later. Work In Progress is all the small stuff that has to be done in less than a month and it´s sync with dropbox, while the archive is all the past stuff that´s done and sync with Amazon cold storage. For Later is where I save the ideas and things that i want to test or try. The inside structure of each is quite different. On the Archive I have it by client/company name, friend name or family name (sisters, dad, me, etc) and in the Work In Progress I keep it by project name, since there can be several things going on with one client. And the For Later I keep it by idea/topic. It's taken me 10 years to get to this system but it fits my workflow, I do not know if that's the best for you
