Pro Tip: Media Library Organization
Keep media library structure as similar to the site structure/CMS page tree as possible. This will help locate assets and folders faster if they follow the same structure throughout the CMS.
Try to avoid storing more than 50 images to one folder to keep CMS usable. At that point, probably better to create additional subfolders for organization purposes.
