I run (some) Linux and Windows, but since work-world is Windows - I’m mainly focused there.
(I have no clue about Apple or iOS.)
Don’t know if it tickles your fancy, but I run Everything as a countermeasure for “excessive clickyness” with folders and navigation.
Settings:
Under “Tools” > “Options” > “Indexes” > NTFS" I have disabled it from looking on my system drive and other areas.
Under “Search” > “Add to filters” I’ve added the path to where my JD structure is - and made this filter always loaded under “Settings” > “General” > “Home”.
In other words; It ONLY looks in my JD structure.
Everything is blazing fast, and I just have to throw some letters in there to find / discriminate down to the folder I want.
Always at the ready, a click a way - in the taskbar.
Sidenote
I’ve seen “behind the scenes” of large, commercial operators that use file servers/shared network drives as their main storage and production systems. Yeah, they do have some internal rules and guidelines about how the folder structures should be - but since humans work there, it is not always so “clean” as it was intended. But they run Everything as a centralized resource from the IT department, where the filters and settings are done by the admins. That means; everyone there (can) use Everything to search/find what they are looking for. It’s quite efficient.
