File System
A file system is a way that computers organize and manage how data is stored and retrieved on storage devices, like hard drives or SSDs. It acts like a filing cabinet, where files (documents, images, etc.) are stored in folders, making it easier to find and access them later. File systems track where each piece of data is located, ensuring that users can save their work and retrieve it efficiently. Different file systems have varying structures and features, affecting how data is saved, accessed, and protected.

A file system is a method used by computers to organize and manage data on storage devices, such as hard drives or SSDs. It determines how files are stored, named, and retrieved, allowing users to create, access, and manage documents and data efficiently. Think of it like a digital filing cabinet: each folder (directory) can contain files, and the file system helps keep everything in order, making it easy to find what you need. It also handles permissions, ensuring that only authorized users can access certain files.
