Saving your files to the desktop may make it easier to find them, but be careful if you do because it may also wreck havoc with your system. The best practice I was given to understand a long time ago is to use the desktop only for shortcuts, especially if you are Mac OS because of how the computer maps and remembers pathways. As for my DW projects, I have one folder ("Websites") on my desktop hard drive in which all current projects reside. Each project, in turn, is separate folder ("Client-Name") within that primary one and will contain subfolders to organize any files I wish to keep that are not required for the active website ("Archive," "NewContent_ddMmmyyyy" e.g.). And the folder holding the files for the active website is the one named in the site definition (usually some form of the URL). Everything is backed up onto one or more external drives and/or CDs or DVDs. (I like the latter two options because the discs can be formatted for "Read Only," thus preventing accidental overwriting.) I also duplicate the PC folder on a laptop in the event of an in person client meeting or need to update a site while away on vacation. I have sort of half-heartedly played with One Drive, but I confess I rarely think of trying to use it. Chris
