file tree
Nested folder visualization
A file tree is a visual representation of how files and folders are organized on a computer, showing the hierarchical structure with nested levels branching out like a tree.
The root directory sits at the top, with subdirectories and files branching beneath it.
Programmers and technical writers use file trees to document project structures: The README includes a file tree showing where each component lives.
