Hi Andrew,

Yes, if you install the http://drupal.org/project/token module you will be able to use tokens to do exactly that.

Go to the file field edit page for your content type and expand the date token list. To get "2012/01" you can uses the tokens "[current-date:custom:Y]/[current-date:custom:m]" for example.

Hi,

Is there a way to set the file storage path for media module files so 
that it makes a year/month/filename archive of the files, rather than 
just putting everything in the same directory? I had a quick look on 
google for a plugin that does this, but didn't find anything. I'm using 
drupal 7.

Also, it would be good to know if anyone has experience with the views 
media browser module?

http://drupal.org/project/views_media_browser

I'd like to use this on the site I'm building, because we will have a 
lot of images and the standard media browser isn't really good enough.

thanks,
