Example of Photos Collected by Date and by PC Folder Structure 
First of all, it’s helpful to understand the underlying data used to build the two examples below. 
 In this case, the files that are being shown are based on two groups of photos. One group is 
located under user Susan’s home Pictures folder, with a number of uploaded photos and a single 
named photo (Beach_sunrise.jpg). This group of photos could be on any particular computer in 
the network (or even split across two computers). The second group of photos is on a particular 
computer (LapDad), but not under a user’s home Pictures folder. In this case, it’s under D:\Photo 
Collection\... Also, note that all of the photos on LapDad are organized and named with 
meaningful names, including a copy of the Beach_sunrise.jpg file that also exists on Susan's group 
of files.
