A second option is to store files based on the file type, e.g. having one folder for videos, one for pictures, one for audio files etc. This is not a good idea to store resources for a topic, but in case you want to have a folder of all videos you have on your computer, this may be useful. In fact, Ubuntu provides folders like videos, pictures, music, documents by default in your home folder.

Freemind has a wonderful feature of being able to import an entire folder structure and create a mindmap. The folder selected will be the main mother node. Here each sub folder will be a node and the parent folder will be the parent of the node. Whats even more exciting, each node works like a hyperlink. Clicking on the node will open the folder on your computer! This feature enables us to navigate a complex set of folders very easily. See example given for the Quadrilaterals. Try it!
