(but more on my philosophy about why keeping more is OK further down…) It is always better to delay upgrading until you really want it or need it.With deduplication, there’s less clutter. It can help you easily find and enjoy your photos: When you want to email or share that photo where the smile is just right, it's a lot easier to look through a few photos than looking through a hundred, which seems like a small task but can be totally exhausting after awhile.When it comes to photos, deduplication is really important for two reasons: For the purpose of this post, I'm going to focus on photos, but all the tips and techniques I'm going to talk about apply to cleaning up duplicate files as well. Re-writing a paper may be a hassle, but at least it’s possible. All my writing was in a different file in a different folder that I had saved a week earlier. I remember in business school wasting over two hours re-writing something because I thought I had lost it, only to discover that I had been working off a different copy.

The bottom line is that there are a lot of ways for pictures and files to end up all over the place, and waste a lot of space on your computer. The resulting duplicates add up over time. Sometimes it can get confusing opening, editing and saving files in any application: Word, Pages, etc.We all download email attachments, sometimes more than once, and most email applications keep them in additional places as well.Box.com, Dropbox and Google Drive are three examples of desktop sync folders that create duplicates automatically when you move to a new computer. Nearly every cloud file storage application out there forces you to re-download everything when you switch computers, which can create a secondary folder and causing crazy confusion.No matter what any photographer tells you, it's true that taking more shots means a higher chance of getting one good one. New DSLRs (cameras with interchangeable lenses) like my Canon 7D Mark II (my personal favorite camera of all time and the one that's in my backpack with me every day) can take 10 full RAW and jpeg images per second (more on RAW later). ![]() And more photos means it uses more storage space. Apple intended this feature to help us capture that "one" shot that's ideal out of many- when maybe no one is blinking and everyone is smiling.
