@BlueStateBabe You have lots of better options than a spreadsheet. Google Photos, old school Picasa if you can find a copy, etc. Most photo managers can do this. They use the meta data embedded in the photos and do it automatically. You'll only have to manually organize any photos without meta data.

But I'd have to upload at a lower res, and I need to keep the res for the family photo history book this will ultimately become. Also, no meta data that is useful in photos. Some of these photos date back to the 1800s... Great idea for modern photo organization, though.
