What is It

Difference Between Files and Folders

The difference between the two is that files store data or information, while folders
store files and other folders.

File:
● In a Graphical User Interface (GUI) in Microsoft Windows, files display as an
icon that stores data, information, settings, or commands used with a certain
computer program.
● Files have extension names like .docx for Word document, .xlsx for Excel, .pptx
for PowerPoint, .jpeg for picture, and a lot more.

Folder:
● A folder can also contain other folders.
● Folders are also called directories.

Folder is a great location to save or store your files. The benefits you will experience is,
it will make your computer organize, and another is that your files will be easy and
convenient to access because you can categorize your files according to folder’s name.

The best location to save your photos or images.
3. Music

 Other Libraries:
5. Desktop

when you open your computer.

Where the download files are automatically saved.

7. Data (D:)
A second partition of the Drive C or a separate area of a hard drive created specially to
save files so that even when the computer is damaged you can still recover your files
in the hard drive.

Libraries do not actually store or save your files and folder; it simply helps keep it
organized. The files are stored or saved permanently in the hard disk for future use.
