    Access the Server:

    Connect to the server where you store your event files. This could be through a network drive, FTP client, or a remote desktop connection.

    Navigate to the Current Year Folder:

    Open the folder for the current year. For example, if the current year is 2024, open the folder named "2024".

    Select the Service Folder:

    Within the current year folder, locate and open the folder named "Photo".

    Select the Service Type Folder:

    Inside the "Photo" folder, find and open the folder named "Luxe Booth".

    Create a New Event Folder:

    Inside the "Luxe Booth" folder, create a new folder for the event.

    Name the folder using the format "XX.XX.XX Groom + Bride" or "XX.XX.XX Event" where "XX.XX.XX" represents the event date (e.g., "05.14.24 John + Jane" or "05.14.24 Corporate Gala").

    Create the RAW Folder:

    Inside the newly created event folder, create another folder named "RAW".

    This "RAW" folder will be where you download the raw files for the editor to process.
