File organization

File organization refers to how data is stored and arranged on storage devices like hard drives or SSDs. It determines how files and folders are structured to allow efficient access, retrieval, and management. Common methods include hierarchical (folders within folders), sequential (stored one after another), and indexed (using an index for quick access). Proper organization helps in quick searching, maintains data integrity, and optimizes storage space. Think of it as a well-organized filing cabinet where documents are arranged logically, making it easy to find and manage information when needed.
