4 Ways to Organize Your Digital Media
Keeping digital media, such as movies, video, and photos organized can be a challenge for many families, especially given the proliferation of devices such as smartphones, laptops, and digital cameras.Here are 4 suggestions you can do to organize your digital media files and eventually know just where to find which video, or movie clip, or music mix.
1. Go Wireless – Many families have multiple sources of digital media (including laptops, cameras, and smartphones), and taking the time to set up a wireless home network, especially if you can connect various devices wirelessly, will pay dividends.
2. External storage and back-up – Did you know that any NETGEAR® wireless router with ReadySHARE® USB can help your family safeguard and share media files? If you don’t already have a storage and back-up system for your digital media, now is a great way to get started. Just connect an external USB hard drive to the ReadySHARE USB port on the NETGEAR router and automatically that storage can be accessed wirelessly and shared with the entire family. Back-up or store your media for safe keeping and sharing.
3. Create descriptive folder names – Start with basic categories such as music, videos, photos. The next level can be type (photos, video, music), followed by topic or date (i.e., Photos/Family/Summer2011),
4. See the big picture - Once your home devices are networked and stored in a centralized location, you can project them onto your big screen using a device like the NETGEAR TV Adapter for Intel Wireless Display (PTV1000), which will also automatically detect your files and folders.
