Use Homebox & mini NFC tags to inventorise and organise your messy collection of USB sticks!

[danielrosehill]

Have a whole bunch of random USB discs and can never keep track of what's on what? Tired of writing and stripping labels as you change what's on them?

Next, create items for your various drives:

Then, using NFC Tools (or whatever you like) write the Homebox asset ID URLs onto the tags and stick them onto your discs.

A note of caution

I'm not sure if there's any possibility that the NFC tags could somehow disrupt the data on the discs but thought I'd flag it as "maybe that's possibly a thing".

I personally haven't seen any indications so far that there's any issue and my NFC tags and drives continue to read just fine.
