All About Folders
Folders allow you to store and organize files and more folders. (Recall the idea of the Desktop Metaphor. You wouldn't keep all your papers at home or an office without folders of some kind. It's the same idea here!)
You can
- Create and move files between folders
- Store and create folders inside of other folders
- Rename fodlers as needed
