File Structure Proposal

Goals

1. Simplify the process of saving and finding files
2. Ensure that every file has a designated location
3. Establish an easy-to-follow archiving system

Description

• The top level project folder will contain five main folders, each representing a different category for organizing files.
• Each main folder will have two or three subfolders for further organization.
• The goal is to minimize the number of folders at each level and to keep commonly accessed files within the second or third level of folders.
• If any second-level folder becomes too crowded, we can create third-level folders to improve navigation.
