Data organization refers to the method of classifying and organizing data sets to make them more useful. Once you create, gather, or start manipulating data and files, they can quickly become disorganized. To save time and prevent errors later on, you and your team should decide how you will structure folders and organize your files. Use the **[Directory Structure Checklist][1]** to help you set up and maintain structured folders and organized files. Remember to think hard at the beginning of your project about how you are going to organize your data as it grows! <br> @[youtube](https://youtu.be/aMC35YbvXPk) [1]: https://osf.io/fp9j5/
