How do you keep shared family folders from becoming cluttered?
My cousins and I are collecting old family photos for our grandmother’s birthday. Everyone has uploaded something, but the folder now contains duplicates, blurry scans, and files named things like “final version 2.” We want to make a slideshow without accidentally deleting anyone’s favorites. What’s a simple way to sort a shared folder when contributors have different ideas about what matters?

For our family reunion, one person handled sorting and everyone else just added photos. We asked relatives to put a year or a person’s name in the file title if they knew it. Keeping the originals untouched helped when my mother spotted a better scan of the same wedding picture later.

We ran into this while gathering pictures for my grandfather’s retirement dinner. I searched for dropbox customer support while dealing with a separate account question, but organizing the photos was something we settled ourselves. We kept one folder for every upload and made another for slideshow candidates, with each cousin choosing a few favorites. That way, my grandfather’s old fishing snapshots stayed in the collection even though most wouldn’t fit into the ten-minute presentation.
