Why are these folders important?



Documents folders help you keep your files organized and separated. If there are no folders on your Windows computer, Linux, or Apple's MAC, it will be difficult to keep things tidy. If your documents and programs, as well as operating system files, were all in the same place, the folder would be huge and you wouldn't be able to find or open anything in a hurry. You can also use more than one file with the same file name in folders if they have different file extensions . When all files are in a single location, each file needs a unique filename.
