I use Photos.app for my photo&#x27;s and just organise things in albums.<p>Passwords are on a bitwarden_rs server and I mostly use the browser clients for
Bitwarden and the Alfred workflow to access them.<p>Books.app for ebooks but there&#x27;s no organisation needed there, I just rely on
the search function.<p>Video&#x27;s are on my Plex server.<p>iCloud Drive is just used to store templates for Pages, Numbers and Keynotes.<p>OneDrive is a tool to transfer things to and from Windows testing machines.<p>I don&#x27;t have local music anymore these days.
