folders
Filing cabinet contents
Folders are containers for organizing loose papers or documents, typically made of cardboard or plastic and designed to hold materials flat.
In computing, folders are virtual containers that organize files within a directory structure—the icon deliberately mimics the physical object.
The verb form means to put into folders: She spent the afternoon foldering client documents.
