Project Organization in C Best Practices

I am wondering what the best practices are for organizing a large C project are. It is a professional project, not an open source one, likely to be stored in a Git repository. How should things be sorted? Where should structures go? When should one use functions attached to structures versus functions that take a structure as a parameter?

In terms of laying out the files in the project, how should things come together? What naming conventions are most appropriate?

For large projects, my personal method is that everything gets its own folder. i.e.:

Root --> (Classes, Structs)

Classes --> (ClassA, ClassB)

Structs --> (StructA, StructB)

If needed, you can further split up a StructA or Struct B...

StructA --> (Methods,Struct)

etc.
