Organize photos in source folders (hard disk)

Hi,

I have a hard disk with 40000 photos in it (some are duplicates as well) with many folder names. I want these photos to be organized by people and year they have taken. So, I would like to use Adobe Photoshop Elements to organize them. But I want this photos to be organized in source folders (hard disk) so I can create a back-up structure in cloud or somewhere I can easily find it when needed.
