What is it?
A file is a digital document or a piece of information stored in a computer or any digital device. It can be of various formats such as text, image, audio, video, etc., and is used for storing, retrieving, and exchanging data.
How does it work?
Files are fundamental to managing and organizing data in any computing environment. They are used to store various types of data, such as documents, images, software, and more. They can be shared, copied, and moved from one location to another, making them essential for data exchange and collaboration in a business context.

For instance, a company can use different types of files for different purposes. Text files (such as .doc or .pdf) could be used for creating and sharing reports or proposals, image files (like .jpg or .png) for visual presentations or marketing materials, and audio or video files (such as .mp3 or .mp4) for multimedia presentations or meetings.
