Hierarchical File System (HFS)

Hierarchical File System (HFS) is a method of organizing and storing files on a computer or storage device. It arranges files in a tree-like structure, using folders (or directories) to group related files together, much like a filing cabinet with drawers. This allows users to easily locate and manage their documents, photos, and applications by navigating through the hierarchy. HFS was originally developed by Apple for Macintosh computers, and it helps simplify file management by providing a clear and logical way to access and categorize digital information.
