All computer programs and data are written into files and read from files, which serve as the common storage unit in a computer. A folder is a collection of files and can hold one or more files.

FILES

  • All of the data on the hard drive is organized by the operating system into files and folders.
  • In a secondary storage device, a file is a group of connected data or information.
  • Word documents, digital or scanned images, worksheets, presentations, software, and any video or audio media stored on your hard drive can all be considered files.
  • In a computer system, a file is a container used to store data, information, configurations, or instructions.
  • A filename serves to identify a group of data that are all stored together as a single unit.

FOLDERS

  • On a computer, a folder is a tool for file organization.
  • Folders, also known as directories, are a way to group files together for storage, much like the manila folders used in offices to hold numerous files and documents.
  • A subfolder is a folder that is contained within a larger folder and can store other folders.
  • A folder is simply a way to store and organize multiple files on the hard drive; it is not a file in any way.
