Can I organize photos? I primarily want to save photos. Will I have the ability to organize them into separate folders?

The drive operates like all hard drives, allowing you to create folders and subfolders, and save to them however you want. There are folders included on the drive that contain the backup software, so as long as you leave these files intact you can add other folders and files and still use the backup features. Organizing photos can be done using Windows Explorer, just as you would use it with your internal hard drive.

If you have software that does this, yes. It doesn't automatically arrange pictures or files for you.

Absolutely! Make as many folders as you would like. It's the photos and videos that take up space. Photos as much as videos.

yes. I purchased this specifically to copy picture folders off my desktop to my new laptop.

absolutely. Works like a regular hard drive so you can set it up with directories/folders and sub folders, etc.

If you use Windows backup tools, no, you would have to organize them first. If you just plug in the drive, you can copy files and folders (or create new folders) just like on your main disk, it will just show up as another disk and you can manage it however you want to.

Yes, you can "make new folder" from Windows on this portable drive. You should also be able to add any specific folders whether you use Windows, Mac OS or any flavor of Linux.
