How do you store all the patterns you have???

Basically what the title says :)
I have my patterns in a folder but I like to be able to see the pictures of the pattern to decide which one to do next. So was looking for inspiration from others who might like the same :) Thank you in advance for any replies and help :)

I use google drive. You canstore a picture withthe same name as the pattern next tot each other. You canalso use a extern harddisk or USB stick for storing picture and pattern together.

I use google drive and have folders for different designers (if there are more then two of the same designer). I also i change the name of the file by adding a number: 1 stands for cables, 2 for colourwork, 3 for intarsia etc.

I search in my map, and put my documents on computer with a preview window, so every thing I click on I see a preview picture...
So if I search for "Easter" I can see every picture from every pattern ;-)
