How to use «Folder» in context?
What is a folder? A folder is a type of file in Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux that stores files together by category. When you double-click a folder, the files in the folder will open automatically. Folders can divided into different sections, such as Documents, Pictures, and Movies. Individual files in a folder can be opened separately or the entire folder can be opened at once.
Folders can be valuable tools when it comes to organizing your files. Each folder can have its own set of rules for how files are organized, which can make it easier to find what you are looking for.
