Best Answer

File Storage ensures reliability is data structures and storage in the operating systems.

It also manages access to the data and the metadata of the files, and manages the available space of the device(s) which contain it

Examples:

• The getPath method converts a system dependent path string, returning a Path object that may be used to locate and access a file.

• The getPathMatcher method is used to create a PathMatcher that performs match operations on paths.

• The getFileStores method returns an iterator over the underlying file-stores
