A file is a small unit of information stored within a folder or by itself on a computer. Computers contain many files of different extensions such as .exe, .doc, .txt, and so on. Each extension designates a program for the information to be opened with. A collection of data or information that has a name, called the filename. Almost all information stored in a computer must be in a file. There are many different types of files: data files, text files , program files, directory files, and so on. Different types of files store different types of information. For example, program files store programs, whereas text files store text.
A folder or box for holding loose papers that are typically arranged in a particular order for easy reference.
