That is more or less exactly the way I structure it:

YEAR\yyyy-mm-dd - Event

I have always been a fan of some form of initial separation into subfolders so that the full list does not overwhelm me, so I made the year into a folder. Apart from that, I just dump the photos into the respective event folder and do not try to rename the individual photos or anything like that. I too would be interested in how other people arrange their photos. Maybe adding some symlink magic so one additionally browse by people, locations, events without adding a database?

I might add that my folder is symlinked in from a Synology DiskStation, so I DO have that additional database layer and can easily browse my pictures using their photo app as well, and that takes care of this for me...

Great setup you got, are you having any copy in the cloud as well? - I'm currently using Google Drive, but their interface is a bit heavy for having a good gallery overview.
No, currently I have not added anything to the cloud. I have started uploading some albums to Flickr, but I find their Interface rather clunky as well.
