desktop folder

Digital document organizer

A desktop folder is a container for files and other folders that appears on a computer's desktop screen.

The desktop itself functions as a folder, and users can create additional folders on it for organization.

Desktop folders provide quick access to frequently used items without navigating through the file system: I keep all my current projects in a desktop folder.
