Do you keep everything in "downloads" or have file trees 100 folders deep?

I have mine set up in groups, per hard drive.

Documents is set up for projects. Downloads gets grouped every few months and turned into a backup downloads folder on the backup hard drive.

So it goes from C:/Downloads into H:/Backups/Downloads/Downloads-11-19-2024

Every other hard drive is mostly just games, so it's set up by project and the Games with whichever launcher.

I don't have many projects that go more than 6 folders deep, most would be 4 at most
