Locked Sticky Please post JPG, TIF, PNG, etc. in Photos, others in Files, with folders and adequate descriptions or they will be deleted #photo-notice #file-notice

 

When something is posted in Files, the only way to view it is to download it.

If you have not put a description, if I have to download a file to look at it to tell what it is, I'm deleting it. There are too many JPGs in there with only a date code as a name with no or only a cryptic description. I'm deleting them.

Think about someone going into Files or Photos a few years from now, not having your emails discussing it in mind. Will they know what it is based on the file name and description? Is it useful for them?

Files and photos not in folders are a bit like going to a common meeting space, throwing pictures and little bits of stuff everywhere, then just leaving it for someone else to figure out and clean up. It is rude and inconsiderate.

If you only need to share a file temporarily, consider posting it on a file sharing site and putting the link in your message.

Thank you,

I created a Temporary files folder in Files. I named it so it should always be at the top of the list.

Good idea Steve.? Keep things user friendly.? I am always arguing with people that make a mess of things on the computer instead of keeping it simple.
