Data Manager

Modern technology allows people to generate huge amounts of personal data. However, at the moment there is no data management standard. What I mean is a data tracking and management standard. When you take a picture or video or receive a media from social media platforms, they are stored on your phone and depending on your subscription some of them are uploaded to cloud. Many people even do not have such cloud syncing. My proposition is that an app would index and assign a GUID to such data once it is created. Then, as this data is duplicated, the management platform would note that. As a result, you would know where the copies of that data is stored. It can be cloud platforms or external disk drives or other computers or mobile devices. Additionally, this standard and GUID would be shared over the social media platforms to track the same data. If you have the original photo, you don't need to store the small copy of it created by Instagram or WhatsApp.

Once the standards are set, the data management apps with the help of end user and AI can aggregate and classify your data. It should also prioritize them so that the most important ones are duplicated more and stored on expensive cloud services before the less critical ones.
