Thank you everyone for the insight.
It started as a small personal project and then kept growing with the number of colleagues, priests, etc involved.
@SebMacV If they were travel receipts or VCR manuals, now that would be much easier and perhaps interesting to find correlations. LOL. The nature of the texts are either books, research papers, scanned manuscripts, multiple languages, material from various churches, the Diocese, lots of theology. etc.
In one of the folders I opened, I found an archive of digitized photos and videos, which might explain the 2 TB jump. Not sure how many of them are, but I feel like this could be a life-time project if I continue doing this on my own
I do have DT3, but have always used it for small things, nothing of this magnitude yet. My own OCD is at war with me when I perused the folders, there are very broad categories.
It is also likely that all this will need to be shared and available internally since more colleagues are involved, maybe OneDrive?
There’s not much concern (in my head for citations at the moment) My concern is knowing that Book A exists as Book A.pdf and resides in Folder B (if the folder is a topic). OR not worrying so much about a folder hierarchy and focus on what was mentioned earlier, each file is properly named. Author - Title.pdf
Note - When I say personal project and colleagues, and doing things on my own, it may sound contradictory. As it stands, the project library is growing with the number of folders, files that keep getting contributed by colleagues and/or churches. I am the only one brave enough to categorize LOL
