Files are tools or systems used to organize, store, and manage documents. The concept of physical files and folders dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the rise of offices and administrative work requiring systematic record-keeping. Paper files allowed documents to be categorized, stored, and retrieved efficiently. In the late 20th century, digital files emerged with computers, revolutionizing document management with electronic storage, search, and sharing capabilities. Today, both physical and digital files are widely used in offices, education, and personal organization worldwide.
