The typical folder icon is designed to resemble a physical file folder, with a tab at the top and a folded appearance, a metaphor derived from traditional office filing systems. The folder icon serves as a visual cue to users, indicating the presence of a container that can hold multiple files or subfolders. Folders organize and store files on a computer or other electronic devices.
A folder icon is a graphical representation used in graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to symbolize and visually represent a directory or folder in a file system.
