How I search/index my drives.

Are you constantly having to plug in different hard drives just to find certain files? Wouldn't it be great to have a simple organization method that could point you to the right drive and save you time in the process? If your answer to these is a resounding yes, this episode is for you.

In this video, I'll show you how I use a cool program called NeoFinder to index the contents of my hard drives. With this system, you can easily preview what's on each drive and know exactly where to go — all without plugging anything in!

Hey everybody, happy New year I'm in the middle of doing some beginning of the year cleaning and I'm actually doing something cool that I wanted to show you. Basically how I can index a bunch of different hard drives and be able to search for them without having to plug them in. So essentially I have all of my hard drives here and then. What I did was I put a little dot. It's probably out of focus, but I put a little color dot on it so that way I can identify this one from this one. And then I'm using this program called Neo Finder, and, Essentially, you plug in your hard drive. I'm doing 1 right now and it is indexing everything on the hard drive. So that way this one I already did Blue Luke Bar, which is this one. Now I can see or search for something on this hard drive without plugging it in. So I'll search for Four Tet and then I can see that the Four Tet remixes are in the Blue Luke Bar hard drive so. So just a Cool little trick. It costs 40 bucks but I always hate buying software, but this one is really worth it. So if you have any questions you can email me at hello@theproductivitgyshop.co or you can join the Productivity Shop Slack channel. Thanks for watching. See you later.
