Question

Differentiate Files and Folders.

Answer 1

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

• Files:
  Files, on the other hand, can range from a few bytes to several gigabytes. They can be documents, programs, libraries, and other compilations of data.
• Folders:
  The folders often referred to as directories, are used to organize files on the computer. The folders themselves take up virtually no space on the hard drive.
